I WILL GIVE BRIANLIEST AND STAY TUNED BECAUSE I HAVE MORE

Answer:

Equation: 5x + 10 = 30

Simplified Equation: 5x = 20

Number of problems assigned per person (at the start): 4

Total number of problems assigned per person: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!
We know that there were 5 students at the after-school tutoring and that the same number of problems were assigned to each person.

Let x = # of problems assigned to each student.

Since there were 5 students, x is multiplied by 5 so we can represent that as 5x

Next, 2 problems were assigned to each of the 5 students, so that can be represented as 5*2 or 10

If we add both values, they should equal to 30:

5x + 10 = 30

Simplified version: 5x = 20

Value of x : 4
