Answer 1

I'll make a little equation for you, which will make this much easier; one second please.

Answer 2

143 = 53 + 5x + 15

Answer 3

If you don't know how to do a equation like this; you can add 53 and 15 then subtract that from both sides and divide that answer by the 5x; which will give you, your answer for x. (:
