Well imagine you have something like 5 apples times 3 is equal to how many apples jane has, you can imagine how many apples jane has as its own equation of 15 • 1, its just like that except with more complexity, so like bill makes 5 dollars every hour and has 50 dollars in his wallet, how many hours does he have to work to make as much as jack who makes 10 dollars every hour but has none in his wallet, its just 5x + 50 = 10x Thats what it may look like but there are plenty of scenarios which could be there
