To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion.This is the proportion you would set up:
2.5 x
---- = ------
3.75 60
x=40
Alrighty!
*Note the ">" sign is similar to the "=" sign.
3m - 3(3m + 8) > 3m
3m - 6m + 24 > 3m (distribute)
-3m + 24 > 3m (combine like terms)
24 > 6m (Compute/simplify)
8 > m

Soccer buys more; divide each
Soccer- 3/2= 1.5
Volleyball- 7/5=1.4
Soccer buys more balls per player
