Mr. Spears was purchasing supplies for his math classroom. He had $25 to spend. Mechanical pencils and erasers come in bundles of 10. Each eraser costs $0.50. Fill in the missing place in the equation to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil.(1 point) (x + 0.50)=25

The missing place should be "x" to compute the cost of each mechanical pencil. So the equation becomes:
x + 0.50 = 25
To compute the cost of each mechanical pencil, we can use the equation given: (x + 0.50) = 25, where x represents the cost of each mechanical pencil.
To solve for x, we want to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 0.50 from both sides:
(x + 0.50) - 0.50 = 25 - 0.50
This simplifies to:
x = 24.50
Therefore, the cost of each mechanical pencil is $24.50.
