The model represents an equation. what value of x makes the equation true?

Let's build the equation counting how many x's and 1's are there on each side.

On the left hand side we have 5x's and 8 1's, for a total of

On the left hand side we have 3x's and 10 1's, for a total of

So, the equation we want to solve is

Subtract 3x from both sides:

Subtract 8 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

answer: 48

just remember to use pemdas:
