Tommy has "n" friends and he wants to give each friend 5 pencils. Write an expression to show how many pencils pencils Tommy will share.

5n

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it:

If Tommy has 4 friends (n = 4), then he will have to give 5 pencils to each person. The total number of pencils is 5 * n or 5 * 4 = 20.

Similarly, if Tommy has 0 friends (I can relate), then he will have to give 5 pencils to each of his imaginary friends. The total number of pencils he has to give out to his real friends is 5 * n or 5 * 0 = 0.

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3
