Start with your lowest numbers, 3 bracelets have 24 beads. The easiest way to find your answer is to find out how many beads are on 1 bracelet. So 24/3 will give us that answer. 24/3=8. and then multiply 7 by 8 to get 56. then check your answer to make sure it fits.
3 x 8 = 24
5 x 8 = 40
7 x 8 = 56
9 x 8 = 72
Set up the equation:
x=(3x-70)
0=2x-70
2x=70
x=35
Now to find LMN we plug it back in:
3(35)-70=35
Final answer: 35 degrees

16 people would be at the dinner because Jim and Sarah invited 7 friends and each friend brought 1 guest, so you do 7*2=14 and the 14 + Jim and Sarah=16 people.
