Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that that question is meant to read:

________________________________________________

" 5 times a number increased by 18 is the same as 36 more than 4 times the number.  Find the number ".

_______________________________________________

Let the variable "x" (i.e. the lower-case letter ex]—represent the unknown number—for which we are asked to solve.

If the question/problem is meant to read:

_________________________________

 "  5 times a number increased by 18 is the same as 36 more than 4 times the number.  Find the number ".

_________________________________

Then, treat the problem as:

_________________________________

  " 5 times [a number increased by 18] " ; {is the same as}:  " 36 more than [4 times the number]".  Find the number ".

_________________________________

Note that:  " {is the same as:}" ;  means:  "equals:} ;

So:  "...[a number; that is, an unknown number; that is, "x" ;  increased by "18" ]" ;  would be represented by:  "[x + 18]" .

5 times that value would be represented as:

  →  5* (x + 18) ;   or:   "  5(x + 18) " .

Then we add the:  " = " ["equals"] sign:

_________________________________

Then, we consider:  "... 36 more than [4 times the number]" .

    4 times the [unknown number]:  would be written as:

         →  " 4 * x " ;   or simply:  " 4x " .

→  "36 more than this [the above value; i.e. "4x" ;  would be represented by adding "36" to said value; as follows:

          →  " 4x + 36 " ;

_________________________________________

Now we can:

  1)  Write our expression as an equation;  and then:

  2)  Solve for the value for "x" ; our unknown number.

___________________________________________

 Here is the expression, as an equation:

________________________________________

  →  5(x + 18) =  4x + 36 ;

Now, solve for "x" ;

_________________________________________

Start with the "left-hand side" of the equation:

          →  5(x + 18) ;

Let us expand this expression.

___________________________________

Note the "distributive property" of multiplication:

   →  a(b+c) = ab + ac .

___________________________________

As such:  " 5(x + 18) = (5 * x)  +  (5 * 18) "  = 5x +120 .

Now, rewrite the equation:

  →  5x + 120 = 4x + 36 ;

Let us subtract "36" from each side of the equation; & subtract "4x" from each side of the equation:

                       →  5x + 120  =     4x  +  36 ;

                         - 4x   -  36  =   - 4x  -  36

                      ________________________

         to get:        1x +  54  =      10 ;

________________________________________

Rewrite as:      " x + 54 = 10 "  ;

→  {Since:  "1x = x " ;  

        → {since:  (" 1 * [any numerical value] = that same numerical value"};

        Note that this refers to the "identity property of multiplication."

___________________________________________

  →  

_________________________________________

 → We have:   " x + 54 = 10 " ;  Solve for "x" ;

Subtract "54" from Each Side of the equation;

 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;

       →  " x + 54 - 54 = 10 - 54 " ;

 to get:  " x = -44 " .

_______________________________

Answer:  The number is " - 44 " .

_______________________________

Let us substitute this value into our equation;  to check our work:

→  5(x + 18) =  4x + 36 ;

→  5(-44 + 18) ≟ 4(-44) + 35 ??  ;

→  5(-26) ≟ -176 + 35 ?? ;

→  -130   ≟ -176 + 35

Kay [80]
The team that should be awarded for consistent performance should be Team M. This is because the standard deviation of the team's players' scores is the lowest. Standard deviation is a measure of how much the individual data points vary from the average value, and for a consistent performance, this variation will be low.

The team with the highest average is Team N. The average is the same as the mean, and this is the highest for Team N, with a value of 13.
