Answer:

The zero of the equation is 40

It means the number of wedding invitations they can send based on their budget

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the zero of the function, we simply set the dependent variable ( m in this case) to zero.

Thus, mathematically;

0 = 50-1.25w

1.25w = 50

w = 50/1.25

w = 40

So what does this mean in the context of the situation?

What it means is that the total number of people they would be able to send the mail to based on their budget is 40
