So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7

Answer:
75/4 cups (or 18-3/4 cups)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ignore all the wording about glue, baking soda and saline.
What this question reduces to is that the recipe for :
2 people ---> requires 3 3/4 cups (or 15/4 cups) of shaving cream
10 people ----> requires 5 times the amount of shaving cream needed for 2 people
Hence shaving cream needed for 10 people
= 5 x 3 3/4 cups
= 5 x 15/4 cups
= 75/4 cups (or 18-3/4 cups)
One gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces
3 gallons is equivalent to 3*128 fluid ounces
= 384 fluid ounces
One plastic cup can hold 12 guide ounces
So cups needed will be 384/12
32 cups
