<h2><u>Answers and Explanation</u></h2>
<u>(a) Betty’s expression:</u>
Cost of guest = 10 × x + 10 × x + 10 × x
= 10x + 10x + 10x
cost of the venue = 80
Total cost =<em> 10x + 10x + 10x + 80</em>
<u>(b) Dawnie’s expression:</u>
Cost of the location = $80
Number of guests = x + x + x
Cost of all guests = $10(x + x + x)
Total cost = <em> 10(x + x + x) + 80</em>
<u>(c) Joan’s expression:</u>
Cost of the location = 80
Cost of guest = 10 × x + 10 × x + 10 × x
= 10x + 10x + 10x
= x(10 + 10 + 10) ⇒ After factoring out x.
Total cost =<em> x(10 + 10 + 10) + 80</em>
X^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
one solution is x = 2
Integer are whole numbers like 3,18,34 and 256 rational numbers are any numbers which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers -3/4 is a rational numbers 124.45 is a rational number.in other words,rational numbers INCLUDE all integers.fraction are rational numbers
