Write the equation. kate has a seashell. Collection. She has 35shells in all. This is five times morethan her brother. How many shells does her brother have.

The equation would be 35=5x. 'x' is the number of seashells her brother has, and the 5 in front of the x is showing that she has 5 times more than him. to find how many her brother has, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to make the x stand alone. you should then get 7=x, meaning that her brother has 7 shells
