Question

During tax-free weekend, you bought some spiral notebooks for $1.00 each and one set of colored pencils for $2. If you spent $5, how many spiral notebooks did you buy?

Answer 1

You bought 3 spiral notebooks.

Explanation:

This can be represented as 1x + 2 = 5. To solve this, first subtract 2 from both sides. You are left with 1x = 3. Divide by 1 to both sides, and your answer is x = 3.
