Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2x+3=5/2x-1
1/2-5/2x=-1-3
-4/2x=-4
-2x=-4
x=-4/-2
x=2
First, we distribute the 2 through the parenthesis.
3x+2x+8=5(x+1)+3
Then we distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
3x+2x+8=5x+5+3
Collect the like terms
5x+8=5x+5+3
Add the numbers
5x+8=5x+8
The statement is true for any value of x, because both sides are identical
For 80 guests you will need 80/10 = 8 times more than for 10 guests:
8*9.50 = $76
Refreshment for 80 guests costs $76.
