Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step.

Let $x$ be the number of stamps Jaylan has. The equation can be set up as follows based on the information given:

$$5x-10=275$$

Now, add 10 to both sides:

$$5x=275+10$$ $$5x=285$$

Next, divide both sides by 5:

$$x=\frac{285}{5}$$ $$x=57$$

So, Jaylan has 57 stamps.
