Answer:
Left Side: 3x+5C or 3 rocks+5 crates Right Side: 24x+2C or 24 rocks+2 crates 7 rocks per crate
Step-by-step explanation:
Crates: C
24x+2C=3x+5C
each side subtracted by 2C
24x=3x+3C
each side subtracted by 3x
21x=3C
each side divided by 3=
7x=C; 7 rocks in each crate
Double check: 24x+(2*7x)=3x+(5*7x) 24x+14x=3x+35x 38x=38x, which is always true
