Answer:
<u>x = 12</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
10 - 3 ( x + 7 ) = 26
<em>First Step: Distribute</em>
- 3 to ( x + 7 )
= 10 - 3 x - 21 = 26
<em>Second Step: Combine like terms</em>
10 - 21
= - 11 - 3 x = 26
<em>Third Step: Add from both sides</em>
26 + 11
= - 3 x = 37
<em>Fourth Step: Divide from both sides</em>
37 / - 3
<u>x = 12</u>
Answer: 343.6875 US$

I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30.
It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.
