Hi there! The answer is 72 guests.
To find our answer we need to set up and solve an equation. Let the total number of guests be represented by g. The cost per guest is $13.50
Therefore the cost for all of the guests will be $13.50 × g.
To find the total cost we need to add the additional fee of $540 to cover linens and tableware.
Now we've found our equation.
Subtract 540.
Divide by 13.5
Therefore, there are 72 guests. The answer is 72.

You know 1 is not a root because the sum of the coeffcients of the equation is 14, not zero.
It is fairly easy to try 3 by synthetic division (see attachment), which tells you that 3 is a root and the remaining quadratic factor is x²-3x-5. The quadratic formula tells you the roots of that factor are
... x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (3±√29)/2
The appropriate choices are
... C. (3-√29)/2
... D. (3+√29)/2
... F. 3
_____
The quadratic formula tells you the solution to
... ax²+bx+c=0
is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
We have a=1, b=-3, c=-5.
