For example let's say Megan has to pay the cab driver $50. Here's the equation 50=1.50x + 5
First you want to get x by itself on one side. So subtract 5 on both sides
50=1.50x + 5
-5 -5
---------------------------
45=1.50x
Now that you have x on one side; however, you want to divide to get the answer.
45=1.50x
-----------------------
1.50
x = 30
So if Megan pay $50 that mean she rode 30 miles
