Let x = # of original members
Cost per person (originally) = 832/x
Cost per person after 6 more people = 832/(x+6)
Solve 832/x=832/(x+6) +6 (because the cost was reduced by 6
Solve for x.
x = 26 or -32 (but x is number of members, so it can't be negative)
# of original members is 26.
Original cost is 832/26 = $32 per person.
The constant value of $16 will remain unchanged no matter the coefficient of x being the initial deposit
<h3>Linear equations</h3>
These are equations that has a leading degree of 2. The standard linear equation is expressed as:
y = mx + b
If Lauren wrote the equation y = 3x + 16 to represent the amount of money in a bank account that starts with $16 and increases by $3 each week, the constant value of $16 will remain unchanged no matter the coefficient of x being the initial deposit
