If Tess has two children enrolled for 5 days and her total bill is $200, how much does she pay for the first child to attend daycare? The answer is 25 but what's the equation?

Let x be the first child’s enrolment fee per day, which is 5x for 5 days, then the second child’s is 5x-50 for 5 days.

Total fee is 5x+5x-50=200.

10x=250, x=$25.
