Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = # of Republicans
x + 4 = # of Democrats
x + x + 4 = 100
x = 48
48 + 4 = 52
There are 52 Democrats and 48 Republicans.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
4(5x - 2) = 72
Do the distributive property
20x - 8 = 72
Then add 8 to both sides to get 20x alone
20x - 8 = 72
+ 8 + 8
20x = 80
Then divide both sides by 20 to get x

x = 4
