X=-8
A negative plus a positive, if ghe negative is bigger it stays negative. -8 is bigger than 5 and 8 - 5 is 3 add the negative and you get -3
So since each player is dealt 5 cards
ratio of cards per player is 5:1
so if 3 players
5 times 3=15 cards
4 players=4 times 5=20 cards
5 players=5 times 5=25 cards
6 players=6 times 5=30 cards
ratio of cards per player is 5:1
