Answer:

Option C) 27 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of people

we know that

The cost of decorations ($35) plus the number of people (x) multiplied by the cost per person on food ($8.50) must be equal to $264.50

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$35+8.50x=264.50$

solve for x

Subtract 35 both sides

$8.50x=264.50-35$

$8.50x=229.50$

Divide by 8.50 both sides

$x=229.50/8.50$

$x=27\ people$

Write the equation for:

xenn [34]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} x +x = 2 (x-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose number is x

Following equation can be written from question statement

$\frac{1}{2} x +x = 2 (x-4)$

Simplifying it further

$\frac{3}{2} x = 2x-8$

$\frac{3}{2} x -2x=-8$

$\frac{3x-4x}{2}= -8$

$-x= -16\\x=16$
