Explanation:

the group of x friends is SPLITTING the cost of $50. Therefore to find the amount each person pays after the split, you will divide 50 by the amount fo friends (x). Each person is also paying an extra $5 for dessert. Therefore, you will be adding that 5 to everyone's total after splitting.

So the equation you will get is


a(x) = (50)/(x) + 5
