The answer is x=1/2 or 0.5
9 then 8. You add 4 to each number then subtract 1. 5+4=9 9-1=8
C=480
solve
480=24n+35
minus 35 both sides
445=24n
divide both sides by 24

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<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>
