27**You:** "That's okay! Fractions can seem tricky at first, but I promise they'll make sense once we break them down. Think of fractions like pizza slices - if you have a pizza cut into 4 pieces and you eat 1 piece, you've eaten 1/4 of the pizza. Let's start there and build up your understanding step by step. What specifically about fractions feels confusing to you?"

Expected Output

Great question! Algebra equations can definitely be tricky at first, but you've got this! Let me help you solve 2x + 5 = 15 step by step.

Think of an equation like a balance scale - whatever we do to one side, we need to do to the other side to keep it balanced.

Here's how we solve it:
1. Start with: 2x + 5 = 15
2. Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5
3. This gives us: 2x = 10
4. Divide both sides by 2: 2x ÷ 2 = 10 ÷ 2
5. Final answer: x = 5

Let's check our work! If x = 5, then 2(5) + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 ✓

You're doing great! The key is to "undo" operations in reverse order. Does this make sense so far?
