Answer:
120 people would play
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract px2 from both sides.
Now you have:
x3 - px2 = (1 - p) x1
Next, divide both sides by (1 - p)
So now you have
x3 - px2/(1 - p) = x1
...as your final answer
*You can decide if you want to leave the parenthesis in your final answer, I left them there so it could be visible where I put them. :)
Too much work!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solve for z:
5 (z + 6) - 2 = 9 z
5 (z + 6) = 5 z + 30:
5 z + 30 - 2 = 9 z
Add like terms. 30 - 2 = 28:
5 z + 28 = 9 z
Subtract 9 z from both sides:
(5 z - 9 z) + 28 = 9 z - 9 z
5 z - 9 z = -4 z:
-4 z + 28 = 9 z - 9 z
9 z - 9 z = 0:
28 - 4 z = 0
Subtract 28 from both sides:
(28 - 28) - 4 z = -28
28 - 28 = 0:
-4 z = -28
Divide both sides of -4 z = -28 by -4:
(-4 z)/(-4) = (-28)/(-4)
(-4)/(-4) = 1:
z = (-28)/(-4)
The gcd of 28 and -4 is 4, so (-28)/(-4) = (-(4×7))/(4 (-1)) = 4/4×(-7)/(-1) = (-7)/(-1):
z = (-7)/(-1)
(-7)/(-1) = (-1)/(-1)×7 = 7:
Answer: z = 7
Answer:
h = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
7h-5(3h-8) = 72
Distribute
7h - 15h +40 = 72
Combine like terms
-8h +40 = 72
Subtract 40 from each side
-8h+40-40 = 72-40
-8h = 32
Divide each side by -8
-8h/-8 = -32/-8
h = -4
