There would be 12 people at the party!
In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.
Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
$966
Step-by-step explanation:
6/7 = 828/x
Write a proportion.
6x = 7(828) Use cross products.
6x = 5796 Multiply.
x = 966 Divide both sides by 6.
Paul's investment was $966.
You know that every 10 minutes the oil moves 25 meters so and in 1 hour there are 60 minutes the equation is 60/10(25) and then you solve
The answer is 150 meters squared
The answer would be 400$. This is because 40 x 10 = 400.
