Hassan his dad with newspaper deliveries. he gets $5 every morning and 10 cents for every paper delivered. hassan earned $20.60 one morning. he wondered how many papers he delivered.

write an equation to represent the amount of money hassan earned.

The value of x is:

We are given a linear equation in terms of variable x and y as follows:

Now, we are asked to find the value of x for the given value of y.

i.e. we have to evaluate the given equation for the given value of y.

Now we are given: y= 15

so by putting this value in equation (1) we have:

On adding 15 on both the sides of the equation we have:
