Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

******************************************************************************

Kate buys 10 tickets to a show. She also pays a $5 parking fee. She spent $35 to see the show.

Each ticket costs x.

10 tickets cost 10x.

Parking is $5.

Total is $35

10x + 5 = 35

******************************************************************************

Ram has 35 gel pens. He gives an equal number of pens to each of his 5 friends and has 10 pens left for himself.

The number of pens he gives each friend is x.

The total number he gives is 5x.

He started with 35 pens ands ended up with 10 pens.

35 - 5x = 10

5x + 10 = 35

******************************************************************************

Yin spends 10 hours on homework this week. She spends 5 hours on science homework and then answers 35 math problems.

Total time spent on homework is 10 hours.

Science homework is 5 hours.

She spends x time on each of the 35 problems, so the total time spent of the 35 problems is 35x.

35x + 5 = 10
