Depends. It’s called an asterisk.
In math it’s used for multiplying.
So 5*5= 25
Let x = number of students in each of the remaining rows
266 = (10 x 20) + (5 x 8) + 2x
266 - (10 x 20) - (5 x 8) = 2x
266 - 200 - 40 = 2x
26 = 2x
x = 26/2
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
20x = 4x +16
16x = 16
x=1
multiply the 2 into the absolute value bars. check if there are negatives. if there aren't, bars can be removed. solve as normal
15x + 4 would be the algebraic expression
