Answer: you could only form 4 groups of 4, but for the people remaining you might either have 2 groups of 5 or 1 group of 2.
Assuming that there is supposed to be a + sign in front of the 2 and 4; the answer is as follows.
3(x+2)+4(x-5)=10
3x+6+4x-20=10
7x-16=10
7x=16
x=2 2/7
Hope this helps :)

What do you need help with?
Step-by-step explanation:
1 5/8 - 3/8 = 1 1/4
Subtract the numerators because the common denominators are the same and leave the whole number to make 1 2/8. To simplify it you divide it by 2 because that's the highest number that can go into both numerator and denominator to make is 1 1/4.
5/12 multiplied by 2 equals 10/24 which when divided by 2 it equals 5/12
