<span>X+2a = 16+aX-6a
8X - 16 = aX-2a
8(X-2) = a(X-2)
</span><span>(X-2)/<span>(X-2)</span> = a/8
1 = a/8
a= 8
</span>
Answer: they are both the same fraction
40g+300 is less than or equal to 5000
g is less than or equal to 117.5
So that is 117 guests max can be invited
-3 = 9C/5 + 32
9C/5 = - 32 - 3
9C/5 = - 35
9C = - 175
C = -175/9
C = - 19.44
