this is someone else's answer from a question just like this one (Makanzi)
Since there was five boxes of crayons and there was 3 crayons in each one, the would be 15 in total. (crayons) And there was three people, 15/3=5 crayons per person.
Equation: 3x=15
x stands for the amount of crayons each person gets.
