Answer:
A example: A customer brought 5 quarts of lemonade from Leah's stand. She also tipped Leah an additional $2. The customer finally paid a total of $27 including the tip. How much is each quart of lemonade worth? If x is what the lemonade is worth, write an equation to figure out the total.
In this problem, the x is what the lemonade is worth. So you should start with a 5x. The customer also tipped $2. So you should add 2 to the 5x. We also know the total, 27.
With the information we can form an equation.
5x + 2 = 27.
To solve, we can subtract 2 from both sides and finally dived by 5 on both sides as well. Your final answer should be x = 5.
