Explanation:

Thanks for clarifying that the question is if $50.50+ x = $60.50- $3.00x equals $5.5?

Now $50.50+ x = $60.50- $3.00 x

Add $3.00x to both sides to get:

$50.50+ x + $3.00x = $60.50 - $3.00 x + $3.00

Which gives;

$50.50 + $4x = $60.50

Subtract $50.50 from both sides to get:

$50.50 - $50.50 + $4x = $60.50 - $50.50

Which gives $4x = $10

Divide both sides by $4 to get;

$4x/$4 = $10/$4

Therefore, x = 2.5
