A supermarket sells apples for $5 per pound. If you purchase 10 pounds of apples, how much will it cost?
Let x be the cost in dollars
Given the equation: 5x + 7 = 10
Subtracting 7 from both sides: 5x = 3
Dividing both sides by 5: x = 3/5
So, 10 pounds of apples will cost $<<10*(3/5)=$6>>6. Answer: \boxed{6}.
