    1.) 17

    2.) 22

    3.) 66

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x+x+5+3x+5=95

    combine the x terms:

    x+x+3x=5x

    combine the numbers:

    5+5=10

    5x+10=95

    subtract ten the the other side

    5x+10=95

    -10 - 10

    5x=85

    Divide 5 and 85

    x=17

    Subsitute 17 to the equation and find the other x terms.
