Twenty people attended a going away party for Zach. The guest left in groups of 2.By 9:00,x groups had left. Rewrite the number of guests remaining at 9:00 as a sum.

The number of guests remaining at 9:00 is;

(20-2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that x groups have left

Since they are leaving in groups of 2, x groups means a total of x * 2 = 2x

So we have 2x left out of a total 20; the people remaining at the party will be;

20-2x

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
