Question

Medal Will Be Given

Answer 1

The sum of two numbers is x, and one of the other numbers is 10. What is 5 times the other number?

Answer 2

As you read it, write down symbols for everything you can, so when it says "sum" write a plus sign. If it says what something is then put an equals sign, etc. See what you come up with and if that makes sense.

Answer 3

What I don't get is how the equation given makes sense. The answer states that the correct equation is 5(x-10).

Answer 4

Answer 5

say, the two numbers are \(a\) and \(b\)

\(a+b = x \)

\(a = 10\)
