Answer: the maximum number of guests that he can invite would be 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Darnel's retirement party cost $33, plus an additional $1 for each guest he invites. Assuming Darnel wants to invite x guests to his retirement party, the total amount of money that Darnel would spend is
33 + x
if darnel can afford to spend a total of $42 on his retirement party, then
42 = 33 + x
x = 42 - 33 = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 - x/3 = x/3
they both have the same denominators (number at the bottom of the fraction) so all you have to do it subtract the numerators (top of the fraction) together. 2x-x =x, that's why it's x on the numerator for the answer

The way you wrote the question was a bit confusing. Also, there are two variables here. To find the one variable (the number of rolls of wrapping paper) we need to find the number of packages.
