Question

A card game has 50 cards. After dealing 7 cards to each player, Tupi has 15 cards left over. Solve the equation 50-7p=15 to find the number of players.

Answer 1

There are 5 players.
15-50=-35/37=5

Answer 2

50 - 7p = 15....subtract 50 from both sides
-7p = 15 - 50
-7p = - 35...divide both sides by -7
p = -35/-7
p = 5 <=== there are 5 players
