Acaterer charges $350 plus $25.50 per guest to cater a wedding. walt and traci don't want to spend more than $8000 on catering. write an equation that models this situation. how many guest can attend the wedding so they stay on budget?

Hi there!

So let's start by establishing what "x" and "y" are going to be in our equation:

x = the number of guests

y = the $8,000 budget

Here's the equation:

8,000 = 25.50x + 350

Now to solve the equation you just have to isolate the "x" :

8,000 = 25.50x + 350

Subtract 350 from each side of the equation

7,650 = 25.50x

Divide each side of the equation by 25.50

300 = x

So your answer is : 300 guests can attend the wedding so that Walt and Traci stay on budget!

Here you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Hi Lawrence!

We Know:

Charges $350

$25.50 for each person

Alt and Traci don't want to spend more than $8,000

Inequality:

x = number of guests

y = total

350 + 25.50x = y

Solution:

8,000 - 350 = $7,650

7,650 / 25.50 = 300

Walt and Traci can have 300 guests without paying more than $8,000.

Hope This Helps :)

idk but i found this "the graph of y = f(x-2) is the graph of y = f(x) translated two units rightward.  

so, since the point (9,2) lies on the graph of y = f(x), the point (11,2) lies on the graph of y = f(x-2)."

35x 3= 105

35+35= 70   70 + 35= 105
