Answer:
1) The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.
2) The solution x=60 represents the total food bill.
These both answers are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 8 group of friends, and the total amount spent by them is $76 including the tip i.e $16.
If x is the food bill our equation can be:
(x+16)/8 = 76/8
Solving the equation
(x+16)/8 = 9.5
x+16= 9.5*8
x= 76 -16
x= 60
The food bill is x=60.

Answer:
The number is 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Five more than a certain number is 11 less than double the number
x+5 = 2x-11
11+5 = 2x-x
16 = x
Answer:
N=250
Step-by-step explanation:
"twice as many nickels as dimes" means N =2D [eq1]
"collection of nickels and dimes is worth $25" means
5N + 10D = 2500 [eq2]
(To avoid using decimal points, PLZ express everything in cents.)
Substitution (substitute N from eq1 into eq2]:
5(2D) + 10D = 2500
10D + 10D = 2500
20D = 2500
D = 125
N=2D [eq1 again]
N=2(125)
N=250
Check:
Is 5(250) + 10(125) = 2500 ?
1250 + 1250 = 2500 ?
2500 = 2500 ?yes
