3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 6
Answer: 250 hamburgers
Step-by-step explanation: x= hamburgers
If there are 72 more cheeseburgers than hamburgers there are:
x+72
The number of cheeseburgers and hamburgers=572 so:
572= x+72+x
Then solve
572=x+72+x
572=2x+72
-72 -72

500=2x
500/2=2x/2
250=x
