Fill in the blanks to create an equation to represent the situation.

Answer 1

Answer: five  or six people

so try 5 or 6 in the ___x area and put 30 in the second blank space

Step-by-step explanation: well we already know she has to pay 30 dollars for the room. so 65 minus 30 is 35, we have to spend 35 dollars on her friends and snacks if she has 3 friends and one 2 dollar snack for each friend that will be 21 so 35 plus 21 is 56continuing the process she could probaly have 5 or 6 people
