A group of x form 4 students decided to contribute equally to raise a total of sh.810 to  buy a birthday cake for the school president. Three of the x students were sent home for fees before submitting their contributions. As a result, each of the remaining students had to contribute an extra of sh.9 to realise the same amount. Form an equation in x and hence find the number of students who actually contributed towards the birthday cake (4marks)

810x -2430+9x²-27x=810x
9x²-27x-2430=0
x=18 or x=-15 
Hence x=18 
Students who  contributed are  therefore 15.
