Answer:
To find the amount that each person must pay we use the algebraic expression:
[tex]5x-23[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
As we would do if we were working with just numbers, to split the bill into the five friends we just need to divide the total bill by 5:
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{25x-115}{5}[/tex]
We can then simplify that fraction by factoring a 5 out of the numerator:
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{2(5x-23)}{5}[/tex]
Then we can cancel out the common 5 that is present in both top and bottom to finally get:
[tex]5x-23[/tex]
That would be the expression to find the amount that each person must pay.
