B) 2(x-3) + X = 5x-2(x+5)

X=x−4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x−3)+X=5x−2(x+5)

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x−3.

2x−6+X=5x−2(x+5)

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+5.

2x−6+X=5x−2x−10

Combine 5x and −2x to get 3x.

2x−6+X=3x−10

Subtract 2x from both sides.

−6+X=3x−10−2x

Combine 3x and −2x to get x.

−6+X=x−10

Add 6 to both sides.

X=x−10+6

Add −10 and 6 to get −4.

X=x−4

for a it would be 24 children.
