Answer:

all values stand for 3x+(-5)=19
- 3x-5=19=> 3x=24=> <u>x=8</u>.
Three step requires another step, so it is difficult than two step process.
no, their is no limit to the number of steps it take to solve an equation.
Every number can be described as a sum/difference of two or three numbers.
If we divide 56 by 4 we get 14. Why by4? So that one number is 3 times the other So he had 14 balls that went into the green bags and 42 (56-14) that went into the red bags. We could just answer the question and say 14 but I think they want to know how many in each green bag.
14 and 42 don't work because they are not the same number of balls. What number is a common factor? 7 is,
We could have 2 green bags and split the 14 balls into 2 groups of 7 and with the remaining 42 - put them into 6 red bags of 7 each.
And so the answer to your question is:
7 ball in each bag = 2 bags are green, and 6 bags are red
14 balls + 42 balls = 56 bouncy balls

I think its 2/12 but not 100% sure
