Solve 1/3 (3x + 6) + 2x = 26
1 answer:
Answer: x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
(1/3) (3x + 6) + 2x = 26
<u>Expand parentheses and apply the distributive property</u>
(1/3) · 3x + (1/3) · 6 + 2x = 26
x + 2 + 2x = 26
<u>Combine like terms</u>
(x + 2x) + 2 = 26
3x + 2 = 26
<u>Subtract 2 on both sides</u>
3x + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2
3x = 24
<u>Divide 3 on both sides</u>
3x / 3 = 24 / 3

The values which would help complete the table according to the complete part of the task content are as evaluated.
<h3>What value would help complete the table?</h3>First, the total number of average players can be evaluated by summing up the total number of players vertically as follows;
180 + average + 80 = 600
The number of average players is therefore; 600-180-80 = 340 average players.
Also, the number of female expert players can be evaluated vertically as;
50 + 50 + female expert = 150
Female expert = 150-50-50 = 50 female experts.
The number of male novice players can be evaluated horizontally as;
Male novice + 50 = 180
Male novice = 180 - 50 = 130.
The number of average male players is therefore easily evaluated vertically as;
130 + male average + 30 = 600
male average = 600-130-30 = 440.
Remarks: The table which is required to be completed is that which is in the attached image.
