5(x-1) + 3 = 13
5x - 5 + 3 = 13
5x -2 = 13
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−1)+3=13

(5)(x)+(5)(−1)+3=13(Distribute)

5x+−5+3=13

(5x)+(−5+3)=13(Combine Like Terms)

5x+−2=13

5x−2=13

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

5x−2+2=13+2

5x=15

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

x=3

Answer:

x=3

Ava has 34 candy bars. If

aliya0001 [1]

$\bf Step-by-step~explanation:$

If Ava has 34 candy bars, and each box can hold 5 bars, then we need to find out how many boxes that are filled up.

$\bf Step~1:$

Divide the number of candy bars (34), by the number each box can hold (5)

$\bf\frac{34}{5}=6.8$

Since we cannot have 6.8 boxes, we have to round down to 6.

$\boxed{\bf Our~final~answer:~6~boxes}$

$\bf Check~our~answer:$

To check our answer, we multiply the number of boxes (6), by the number of bars in each box (5), to get 30. We add Ava's extra bars (4), and we get the number we started off with: 34. This proves our answer is correct!
