Bob has three sacks of apples and three more apples in his pocket. Each sack contains the same number of apples. Altogether, Bob has 33 apples. How many apples are in each sack? Solve with a Linear Equation
is this right
3x+3=33
3x=30
30/3=10
x-5=10
10+5=15
x=15

I agree here:
3x=30
divide by 3
x=10 sacks.

I have no idea what you did after that.
