Cost c
guest g
the cost is 5
for each guest $2
so we will say
2g
Therefore, the equation is c =5 +2g
If xy=0 assume that at leas 1 is zero
set it to zero
0=2a^2-16a+32
undistribute 2
0=2(a^2-8a+16)
2*0=0 so assume
a^2-8a+16=0
factor
(a-4)(a-4)=0
set to zero
a-4=0
a=4
when a=4, equation equals zero

Answer:
divide by x
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer your question, you can get from A to B by dividing by x:

However, this is only a valid operation if x ≠ 0. In this equation, x = 0, so that division is not valid.
__
A better approach to the solution is to put the equation in standard form:
f(x) = 0
You can get there by subtracting 3x from both sides.
5x -3x = 3x -3x
2x = 0
Now, you can legitimately divide by 2 to find ...
x = 0 . . . . . . . . the reason why dividing by x is not allowed
