First, distribute the 5 into (x+10)
This leaves you with the equation 5x + 50 - 10x = 100
From there, combine 5x and -10x together since they have the same variable
This gives you 50 - 5x = 100
Now you subtract 50 from both sides to get the x by itself
Now you have -5x = 50
Divide both sides by -5
This leaves you with the final answer: x = -10
All the sentences support the claim that the American colonies could thrive independently from Britain. The one that does it more directly is number 3: But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had any thing to do with her.
Sentences 1 and 2 are simply explaining - by comparing the country to a child - how naive is the claim that, if America once needed Britain, it would always need Britain. It would be the same as saying a child will never eat meat because he/she was first raised my being fed milk.
Sentence 4 is only claiming America has found a lucrative livelihood by taking advantage of European habits and needs.
Sentence 3 makes it clear that, in Paine's opinion, America not only is successful but could have done even better if there had been no interference from Britain at all from the very start. Such connection was not essential for America's development, it only hindered it.

This statement is ironic because they ARE a crowd of kids.
Piggy is angry because they are acting like kids, but they are kids. Piggy expects them to act more maturely than they are capable of doing.
It is statements like this that contribute to Piggy's being an outsider. He continually places himself "above" the others and criticizes their behavior, much like an adult would.
