Solution:

Note that:

  • 5 + x + 5 + x + 5 + x = 27

Simplify the equation and solve for x.

  • 5 + x + 5 + x + 5 + x = 27
  • => 15 + 3x = 27
  • => 3x = 27 - 15
  • => 3x = 12
  • => x = 4

The value of x is 4.

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

We can write this scale as 15 + 3x = 27.

  • We wrote 15 because there are three five's, thus making 15
  • We wrote 3x because there are three x's

Step 1: Subtract 15 from both sides.


  • 15x+3x-15=27-15

  • 3x=12

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.


  • 3x/3 = 12/3

  • x=4

Step 3: Check if solution is correct.


  • 15+3(4)=27

  • 15+12=27

  • 27
