Answer: x = (cd + by) / a
Working out:
(ax - by) / c = d
1)Multiply by c on both sides to get:
ax - by = cd
2) Add by on both sides to get:
ax = cd + by
3) divide by a on both sides to get:
x = (cd + by) / a
Let's assume
people were in the original group of winners as x
A group of winning ticket holders share equally 90,000,000 lottery
Before the money is divided, three more winning ticket holders are declared
so, total number of winning tickes =x+3
each persons share is reduced to 5,000,000
so, total money =5,000,000*(x+3)
and this must be equal to total money

now, we can solve for x
and we get

Subtrac both sides by 3


so,
number of people were in the original group of winners is 15 ...........Answer
The answer of 74 divided by 8 hope this helps
