The marching band has 110 members.  There are 4 times as many percussion players as there are woodwind, and twice as many woodwinds as brass.  How many brass players are there?
Define a variable ** Let x represent the number of brass players in the band
How many woodwind players are there? ** Woodwind:2x
How many percussion players are there? ** Percussion:4(2x)=8x
Write an equation ** Total:x+2x+8x=110
Combine like terms ** 11x=110
Divide by 11 ** x=<<10=10>>10
