Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume each person in the group must have 1 pencil AND 1 eraser each.
Since you have more pencils than erasers, then the limiting factor is the number of erasers. So a group of 56 people will have 1 pencil And 1 eraser and Clare will have 24 pencils left over (assuming Clare has her own pencil and eraser - if not then the group size is 55 assuming Clare is not in the group)
sorry if it's too confusing

Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(1 + 1x) = -50
-5 + -5x = -50
-5 + -5x + 5 = -5x
-50 + 5 = -45
-5x = -45
-5x / -5 = x
-45 / -5 = 9
x = 9
Since all the variables cancel out and the coefficient equal to eachother, this system of equation has
<u>infinitely many solutions!</u>
