Most of us have to invest in study time for recall at test time.

The starting equation is (x+5)/3 = 7 which can be written as 
The solution to this equation is x = 16
========================================================
Explanation:
Let x be a placeholder for some number. If we start off with some number and add on 5, then we go from x to x+5. The next thing we do is divide all of "x+5" all over 3 to get (x+5)/3 which can be written as
. I'll use the first style of notation.
Set the expression (x+5)/3 equal to 7 and that leads us to the equation:
(x+5)/3 = 7
so this is the first part of the answer. Now onto the second part which is solving for x. We want to get x all by itself on its own side.
To do this, we follow the order of operations PEMDAS in reverse. So we undo division first by multiplying both sides by 3. Then we undo the addition of 5 by subtracting 5 from both sides
(x+5)/3 = 7
3*(x+5)/3 = 3*7 ...... multiply both sides by 3
x+5 = 21
x+5 - 5 = 21 - 5 ..... subtract 5 from both sides
x = 16
So the unknown mystery number is 16. As a check, note how adding 5 to 16 gets us 16+5 = 21, which if we divide by 3 we end up with 21/3 = 7 which is what we want. So the answer is confirmed.
Think of variable K as number of trees planted and variable J as number of minutes it takes to plant the trees.
K = _J + _
For every 4 trees planted it takes 2 minutes to plant them, so we now have -4/2. 4 is negative because we don't have an unlimited amount of trees to plant. With this being said, we can use this fraction as J.
K = -4/2J + _
We lose 4 trees every 2 minutes, but how many trees did we initially start out with? According to the graph, we started with 28 trees, so K = -4/2J + 28.
Now we can test this equation out by picking a random dot on the graph: 24/2.
24 = -4/2(2) + 28
24 = -4 + 28
24 = 24
This statement is correct, so our equation is correct.
