The answer is 18. You add 5 to both sides of the equation. the 5 cancels out. You are left with 2/3x=12. Then you divide 12 by 2/3 to get x. 12 divided by 2/3 is 18

Answer: 2x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write equations with the information given:
- <em>John has × marbles </em>
John=x
- <em>Max has twice (multiplied by 2) as many.max give gives john 5 of his marbles.
</em>
We have to multiply by 2 the number of marbles that John has (x), and subtract 5.
Max = 2x -5
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
