A club’s first meeting was attended by 72 people. Nine times as many people went to the first meeting than the second meeting. How many people attended the second meeting?

8 people attended the second meeting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of people who attended the first meeting = 72

Let,

x be the number of people who attended second meeting.

9 times people of second meeting = Number of people who attended first meeting

9x = 72

Dividing both sides by 9

Hence,

8 people attended the second meeting.

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
