<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>
The middle one is proportional
Answer:
The answer is -18 and above (that's negative, basically -17,-16, -15,-14,-13,-12, -11, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5,-4, -3, -2, -1).
Alright , so basically the permiter that is given is like this:
327+327 +258+258 cm = 1170cm
now this can also be written as: 2(327+258)cm =1170cm
wait, its given as 258 and 218 cm. the width should be same actually , then only you can simplify it in order to get it in an expression ( simplest form)
