andrea spent $40 at a shoe store. she bought a pair of shoes for $25 and 5 identical pairs of socks. how much was each pair of socks? write an equation to represent this situation. use x to represent the price of each pair of socks.

Each pair of socks cost 3 dollars
25+5x=40
Take 25 from both sides
5x=15
Divide 15 by five
X=3
