Answer: x=5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use teh information given to write out an equation and solve. Let's use x for the unknown number.

5x+5=2x+10

The left side of the equation comes from the part that says "five times a number plus 5". That is modeled above. The right side of the equation comes from "has the same value as twice the number plus 10".

5x+5=2x+10                     [subtract both sides by 2x]

3x+5=10                           [subtract both sides by 5]

3x=5                                [divide both sides by 3]

x=5/3

Now, we have found the unknown number, x=5/3.

Why does it help to rearrange
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

You don't really need to do it, but it helps you keep things more organized and easier to follow. Imagine if you're doing some multi-variable equation,

2a + 5b + 4d + 3c + b + a + 2d

that looks like a mess, it'll be easier to look at if you put all the similar variables next to each others like this:

a + 2a + b + 5b + 3c + 2d + 4d

(a + 2a) + (b + 5b) + 3c + (2d + 4d)

now you can add them up much easier.
