let "x" be the number of pennies to fill the bank.
if the bank is 1/3 full, any idea how to write that, using x ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/3x ?
OpenStudy (phi):
ok
now write that and add 520 pennies
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well 1/3 is equal to 2/6 so 520 pennies is 3/6 or 1/2 or what the bank can hold
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it's 520 x 2

The equation would be \[x+x+1+x+2\] and then you want to add like terms together.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Making it now \[3x + 3 = 57\]
