Represent algebraically:
if b baseball cards were divided equally among 3 people, each person would receive 25 cards less than if the b baseball cards were divided equally between 2 people.

Represent algebraically:  If b baseball cards were divided equally is total number of cards is 150

Solution:

Given that, if “b” baseball cards were divided equally among 3 people, each person would receive 25 cards less than if the “b” baseball cards were divided equally between 2 people.

We have to represent it in algebraic form.

Now, number of cards per each person when divided among 3 = number of cards per each person when divided among 2 – 25

Hence, total number of cards are 150

is only a line? i think so

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
