Let's solve for x --
Isn't it always a little easier to solve a math problem with starting by rewriting the equation?
3/8x + 15/2 = 8
Step 1) Subtract 15/2 from both sides
3/8x + 15/2 - 15/2 = 8 - 15/2
3/8x = 1/2
Step 2) Multiply both sides by 8/3
(8/3) × (3/8x) = (8/3) × (1/2)
x = 4/3
FINAL ANSWER -
x = 4/3

A baseball player pays a flat admission fee of 10 dollars. The player has to pay 5 dollars per major league game, if the student has 35 dollars how much can they spend?
1. 10+5x <= 35
2. 5x<= 25
3. x<= 5
Make a number line
This means that the solution means they can participate in 5 major league games with 0 dollars left.
