To solve you want the total dollars spent in each transaction to be equal
%246x=%243x%2B%2430
Moving all x variables to one side gets
6x-3x=30
Simplify
3x=30
Divide both sides by 3
3x%2F3=30%2F3
Reduce
x=10
Check answer by putting the result in first eqution
6%2A%2810%29=3%2A%2810%29%2B30
Simplify
60=30%2B30
60=60
Solution works!
