Nikolai Ochoa · Answer 1

Rob got on 9 rides at the amusement park. Your equation is 5 + (3 * x) = 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rob is one person, meaning he paid only $5 per person, him. That leaves you with $27 extra that he spent. This means he would have had to go on 9 rides.

Answer: 32 = 5 + 3x 9 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

32 = 5 + 3x

32 - 5 = 3x

27 = 3x

27 / 3 = 9
