Solve for x: you must show your work (how your got your answer). 8x + 5 = 35

8x + 5 = 35

Subtract 5 from each side
8x + 5 - 5 = 35 - 5
8x = 30

Divide each side by the number 8
8x ÷ 8 = 30 ÷ 8
x = 15/4 or 3.75 or 3 3/4

The easy way to do this is divide each of them by their respected price...

4.12 ÷ 7 = .47 per can Cheapest

4.22 ÷ 9 = .59 per can Most

I encourage you to look at it in this formula too...

9V = 4.22

7D = 4.12

then divide like we already did to find village price a can and dams price a can.
