explain please

anonymous · Answer

8000 + 5x = 10,000 + 3x
I think this is correct.....now just solve for x. Can you do that ?

anonymous · Answer

an explanation :)

anonymous · Answer

you have to set them equal to each other. But I am not sure of the + 5x and the + 3x. I am not sure if you add them or subtract them. Do you think it is saying that each glove cost $3 and $5 to make ? If that is the case, I think you add them. You might need to get a second opinion on this.
