| You have to make up an equation. The equation for this problem would be x+10=30. This is how you solve it. x+10=30 x+10-10= 30-10= x=20. You can buy 20 mor outfits. | |

| Ok lets see. First you have to use distributive property. 2(x+3)=17 2x+6=17. Then you have to combine like terms.2x=16-6 2x=10. Lastly you have to get the variable by itself. The answer is x=5. | |

| Great. Now this problem is really confusing. 2(x+3)=16 | |
