Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
W====~~~
The answer is 6 People. You make the two equations first 12.99x and 8.99x+20. And then make them equal each other 12.99x = 8.99x+20. Then you use algebra to solve for the x and you get an answer of 5. That is the number of people that would cause the two prices to break even (be the same price). So in order for the group rate to be the better deal you need 6 people to attend.
The equation simplified (combine like terms) would be 11x+(-24) =180.
Since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, you could also write it as this: 11x-24=180. Next step is isolate the variable, so to do that you need to add 24 to both sides of the equation: 11x-24+24=180+24. This is the same as 11x=204. Now to get only one of the variable, you need to divide both sides by 11. x=18.54 repeating or x=18 6/11. Hope this helped!
the possibilities are probably b, using the elimination method
3/8+x=1
x=5/8
A 1 inch button is 5/8 inches longer than a 3/8 inch button.
