Question

Mei spent $25 on a magazine and some candy bars. If the magazine cost $5 and each candy bar cost $4, then how many candy bars did she buy?

Answer 1

5 because 5+4x5=25 therefore she bought 5 candy bars

Answer 2

5 Candy bars!

We know that this is our equation: $5 + $4x = $25 <= We have to find the value of x 

$5 + $4x = $25
-5                 -5

$4x = $20
  -         -
 4         4

x = $5 

Hope this helped!
