ive been trying for hours and i just cant get it. please help?

The members of a computer club each contributed an equal amount to buy a printer. If there had been three more members, each member would have paid $10 less. If there had been two fewer members, each member would have contributed $10 more. How many members were in the club? How much did each contribute?

please show me exactly what you did so i can understandit. thank you!

What are you asked to find?

Make those your unknown variables.

How many members were in the club? ? # of members = N

How much did each contribute?? contribution from each = x

Please show us your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
