Step-by-step explanation:

( x^2 -x-6)

24 - 5x -x^2

Factor out a minus sign from the denominator

( x^2 -x-6)

-( x^2 +5x -24)

Factor the numerators and the denominators

( x-3) (x+2)

-( x+8)(x-3)

Cancel like terms

  x+2

-(x+8)

how many players are there?

step-by-step explanation:

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
