Answer:
50 players
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of players last year and y be the amount of players this year then...
y=3x+2
y=152
We can solve this using substitution. Substitute 152 for y:
y=3x+2
152=3x+2
Subtract 2 from both sides (subtraction property of equality)
152-2=3x+2-2
150=3x
Divide both sides by 3 (division property of equality)
x=50
There were 50 players last year.
