12 = 12/1 = 24/2, 24/2+1/2=25/2 so 25/2, and it's in simplest form because 2 can't go into 25
G(p+4)=3(p+4)^2+2(p+4)+27
=3p^2+24p+48+2p+8+27
=3p^2+26p+83
Find the common denominator of 3 and 12 which would be 12.
Then we add the 2 fractions together to get 9/12.
Now we know that 9/12 of the guests chose chicken and beef.
We also know that 69 guests is equivalent to 3/12 which can be simplified down to get 1/4.
So now we can do 69x4 to get 4/4 which is also 12/12, the amount of guests .
69x4 is 276
Your final should be 276.
15x = 500-50
15x = 450
x = 450/15
x =30
Thus, x is equal to 30.
