Let Home runs = X
Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)
Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)
Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)
Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153
Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262
Simplify:
50x - 138 = 262
Add 138 to both sides:
50x = 400
Divide both sides by 50:
x = 400/50
x = 8
Home runs = x = 8
Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5
Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24
Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225
- The Temperatures are on the top column numbers.
- The Wind speeds are on the left lateral numbers.
Answer: D, 23°F.
The answer is given above
Hi there! The answer is 72 guests.
To find our answer we need to set up and solve an equation. Let the total number of guests be represented by g. The cost per guest is $13.50
Therefore the cost for all of the guests will be $13.50 × g.
To find the total cost we need to add the additional fee of $540 to cover linens and tableware.
Now we've found our equation.

Subtract 540.

Divide by 13.5

Therefore, there are 72 guests. The answer is 72.
