5(5x-10)=15
5x-10=3
5x=10+3
5x=13
Divide both sides by 5-5 and 5 cancel out to leave you with x 13/5 =2.6
X=2.6

Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price
Take the first discount
x - 18 percent
x - .18x = new price
x( 1-.18)
x ( .82) = new price
Now we take a 20 percent discount
This is on the discounted price, use .82x
.82x - 20 percent= 2nd discounted price
.82x - .20(.82x)
.82x -.164x
.656x= 2nd discounted price
.656x = 328
Divide each side by.656
.656x/.656 = 328/.656
x =500
The original price was 500
