I believe it would be fifteen.
It would be an odd number of teams. What I did was add 43 and 34 together. Which gave me 77. So 77 people total wanted to race. There can only be 8 racers on each team. Each means to divide. So I divided 8 and 77. It gave me 9 with a remainder of 5. So there will e 9 teams and 5 racers left out. (:
Answer:
7-2x=3+x
Step-by-step explanation:
where x is the number
Half the x-coefficient is -3, so the equation needs to be rearranged into a form that looks like
x² -6x +(-3)² + [something]
You can get there by adding and subtracting 9 from the original equation.
y = x² -6x +9 +7 -9 . . . . . 9 added and subtracted
y = (x² -6x +9) -2
The quantity in parentheses is a perfect square, so we can write the equation in the desired form as ...
y = (x -3)² -2
