Answer:

9 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing an equation.

The total bill is 134.03. The bill is totally paid by Marcus and the other guests. This will go on the other side of the equation.

Since we don't know how many guests there were, we can use variable x to represent the value that we're trying to find.

So here is our equation.

134.04 = 20.45 + 12.62x

Now, just solve for x, or isolate x.

Subtract 20.45 from both sides.

134.04 - 20.45 = 12.62x

Divide both sides by 12.62.

113.59/12.62 = x

Simplify.

x = 9

Since x is 9, we know that there were 9 other people at the dinner party.

Find an inverse of 16 modulo 17. That is solve 16x=1(mod 17)
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

-1 is the inverse of 16 modulo 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : An inverse of  16 modulo 17 i.e. 16x=1(mod 17)?

Solution :

First we find the GCD of (17,16) using Euclid's algorithm,

17=16\times 1+1

Remainder is 1.

Which means, GCD(17,16)=1

Using back substitution we get,

1=17-16(1)

\Rightarrow 16(-1)=1+17(-1)

\Rightarrow 16(-1)=1(\mod 17)

i.e. -1 is the inverse of 16 modulo 17.

On comparing with 16x=1(mod 17)

The value of x=-1.
