To find the average number of customers for dinner, use the simple ratio of 5 lunch customers for every 8 dinner customers.
Because there are 40 lunch customers, this is eight groups of five lunch customers. This means you will need 8 groups of 8 dinner customers to make it equivalent.
8 x 8 = 64
There is an average of 64 customers for dinner.
Answer:
-45 < x < 5 (see graph below)
Step-by-step explanation:
to isolate x by itself, subtract 20 from all three terms of the equation:

once you finish subtracting 20, x should be by itself, making the equation graphable:

since x is not equal to -45 or 25, the graph line endings have open circles.
F(1) = 8
Steps:
f(x) = 7(x-1) + 8
f(1) = 7(1-1) + 8
f(1) = 7(0) + 8
f(1) = 0 + 8
f(1) = 8
