Question

The Knicks and Nets have a total 30 players.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement, we can set up the following two equations:

$K + N = 30$

$20K + 10N = 500$

where $K$ is the number of Knicks players, and $N$ is the number of Nets players.

We can substitute the first equation into the second and solve for $K$

$K + N = 30$

$N = 30 - K$

$20K + 10N = 500$

$20K + 10(30 - K) = 500$

$20K + 300 - 10K = 500$

$10K + 300 = 500$

$10K = 200$

$K = 20$
