So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:
Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:
That x value is 20.
We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is . These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have
and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:
Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is
Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
