Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
R = 9x + 8y
4 = 9x + 8*8
4 = 9x + 64
Subtract 64 from both sides
4 - 64 = 9x + 64 - 64
-60 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9
-60/9 = 9x/9
-20/3 = x
x = -6 2/3
Answer:
20 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of people initially. We can find the amount each of them has to pay at first
2 / x
But when 10 people walk away, the remaining (x - 10) has to pay 10 cents more to get the same total of $2. This would means

From here we can perform cross multiplication


Multiply both sides by 10x:

x = 20 or x = -10
Since x can only be positive we will pick x = 20
Distributive Property.
You would get 3x-4
