Question

Ok so I need to write a equation for this jasmine paid $25 for 2 binders and 1 pack of pens. The pens cost $5. What equation could I write to find out the price per binder?

Could it be 25-5=x
Ms. Sue
No. You have the price of two binders.

Cathy
So can you please help me
Ms. Sue
2b + 5 = 25

Cathy
What about
25-5=x/2
Cathy
Thank you
Ms. Sue
That would work.
