Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x−5)−5=23
(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−5=23(Distribute)
3x+−15+−5=23
(3x)+(−15+−5)=23(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−20=23
3x−20=23
Step 2: Add 20 to both sides.
3x−20+20=23+20
3x=43
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x
/3 = 43
/3
x=
43
/3
Here is the equation: (gas=g)
8.5g= 23.94
All you need to do is the inverse of multiplication on the other side. (division)
23.94/8.5= 2.81647.....
g= 2.82 (rounded to the hundredths place)
I hope this helps!

112.5 I believe is the right answer
1 quart = 32 ounces
3 quarts = 96 ounces
96 ounces / 16 players = 6 ounces per player
