Treat it just like and equation at first. Multiply the 10 on both sides to get rid of it, leaving you with 50 
x. Then on the number line, since there is a line under it, you would make a filled in circle and an arrow pointing towards 51 and beyond
Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.
Answer:
x = 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We would first put it in an equation
5x - 1 = 10 + 3x
We would first add 1 on both sides
5x = 11 + 3x
Then we subtract 3x on both sides
2x = 11
Divide both sides by 2
x = 11/2
