D becaucause you have to do 12x8 and then 12x5 and whatever 12x8 is you but the answer bring down the + and do 12x5
Answer: X can not be 11 or higher, so that means this problem will be 10 or lower. There for the value of X=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
G(12) = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
When doing g(x) equations, all you do is substitute the value inside the parentheses to x in the equation.
So you get 3/4(12) + 6.
Then simplify to get g(12) = 15
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!
