Answer:

First you need to put the variable, x, in a fraction


(x)/(3) + 10=15

In this case, 10, is a positive integer, so because its a whole number, we put it with 15 on the other side of the equal sign. Then the +10 will become -10.


(x)/(3) =15-10

Then its easier to calculate, 15 - 10 is 5.


(x)/(3) =5

After that you put 5 over 1 and crisscross the equation.


(x)/(3) =(5)/(1)

x times 1 is x itself, and 3 times 5 is 15


x=15

So in the end x = 15

Have a wonderful day! :-)
