Answer:

The nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131. 50 is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, it can be said that the total cost of a dinner would be equal to the initial fee plus the result of multiplying the price per person for the number of people, which can be expressed as:

c=16+8.25x, where:

c is the total cost of he dinner

x is the number of people

Now, you can replace c with 131.50 that is the cost of a dinner and solve for x to find the number of people that can attend:

131.50=16+8.25x

131.50-16=8.25x

115.50=8.25x

x=115.50/8.25

x=14

According to this, the answer is that the nomber of people can attend a dinner that costs $131.50 is 14.

Solve:<br> -8r - (-2r-3) = 13<br><br> (if you can give a step by step, that would be great!)
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

r =  -  \frac{5}{3}  = 1 \frac{2}{3}  =  - 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

- 8r -  ( - 2r - 3) = 13

- 8r + 2r + 3 = 13

- 6r + 3 = 13

- 6r = 13 - 3

- 6r = 10

\boxed{\green{r =  -  \frac{5}{3}  = 1 \frac{2}{3}  =  - 1.6}}

Where does the section of the bridge meet ground level? Solve 0 = -x2 + 10x - 8
djverab [1.8K]
In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17

The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
