Respuesta :
4x➕6(503-x)=2296
Distribute the 6 into the parentheses
Let x represent the students
503-x will represent the non-students
4x➕3018➖6x=2296
Then combine like terms
-2x➕3018=2296
Now since you move your constant your sign has to change as well,
-2x=2296➖3018
Then subtract
-2x=-722
Then divide both sides by -2
You are left with x=361
This represents the students
503➖361= 142 which equal the non-students
Therefore your answer is:
361=students
142=non-students
Hope this helps! :3
