What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical expression that contains an equality sign between two mathematical expressions.

How to determine the winner?

Let us firstly solve the equations.

Jose's Equation:

5x-3.5=12.5

⇒5x=12.5+3.5=16

⇒x=16/5=3.2

Colt's Equation:

x/5+3=12

⇒x/5=12-3=9

⇒x=9×5=45

Clearly, Colt's equation has the largest solution. So, Colt wins.
