begin mathsize 16px style Let space the space total space number space of space members space be space straight x.
Then comma space
number space of space members space playing space cards equals 3 over 10 straight x
number space of space members space playing space carom equals 4 over 10 straight x
number space of space members space playing space cards space and space carom equals 120
number space of space members space playing space nothing equals 30
Thus comma space we space have
straight x equals 3 over 10 straight x plus 4 over 10 straight x plus 120 plus 30
rightwards double arrow straight x equals fraction numerator 7 straight x over denominator 10 end fraction plus 150
rightwards double arrow straight x minus fraction numerator 7 straight x over denominator 10 end fraction equals 150
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 3 straight x over denominator 10 end fraction equals 150
rightwards double arrow straight x equals fraction numerator 150 cross times 10 over denominator 3 end fraction
rightwards double arrow straight x equals 500
rightwards double arrow Total space number space of space members equals 500 end style
