There are 2 choices for the first set, and 5 choices for the second set. Each of the 2 choices from the first set can be combined with each of the 5 choices from the second set. Therefore there are 2 times 5 combinations from the first and second sets. Continuing this reasoning, the total number of unique combinations of one object from each set is:
3x + 5 = 23
5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23
(you add 5 to 3x)
If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides
3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5
3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
x = 6
