Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 4 from both sides which you add to the zero. Then, combine like terms, 5x - 1x which is 4x. Divide 4 from both sides and it equals 1.
To determine the number of those who joined the basketball camp this year, we just have to multiply the number of those who joined last year by the decimal equivalent of the percentage given. That is,
x = 88(1.25)
x = 110
Therefore, there are a total of 110 players for this years basketball camp.
