number. What is the number	Choose the correct choice
A) 20/2 B) 15/4 C) 30/5 D) 25/3 E) 9/6
3x+15 First, addition is built backwards   6x−10 Then, subtraction is also built backwards   3x+15=6x−10 Is between the parts tells us theymust be equal   −3x −3x Subtract 3x so variable is all on one side   15=3x−10 Nowwe have a two−step equation   +10 +10 Add 10 to both sides   25=3x The variable ismultiplied by 3   3 3 25/3ivide both sides by 3   25/3=x Our number is   25/3   correct answer 25/3
