Answer:
Here's an example of a real-world problem for your equation:
Sam has some money saved up for a new bicycle and needs to figure out how much more money he needs to save. The bike he wants costs $35 and he has already saved $5. He plans to save the same amount each week, represented by the variable x. If Sam's total savings, represented by the expression 2x+5, is equal to the cost of the bike, how much does he need to save each week?
Solution:
The equation representing the problem is: 2x + 5 = 35
To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can start by subtracting 5 from both sides:
2x + 5 - 5 = 35 - 5
Simplifying the left side gives:
2x = 30
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
x = 15
Therefore, Sam needs to save $15 each week to be able to afford the bike in 2 weeks.
