Lets x = # pounds of coffe
70 - 8.06x = 37.76
- 8.06x = - 32.24
x = 4
Answer

Step-by-step explanation:
Start by analyzing how this average idea works:
If only one member goes to the trip, it will cost him/her $1000+$200 = $1200.
If two members go to the trip, then they will share the cost as per the following: ($1000+ $200 + $200 = $1400) which they will be dividing into two people, thus costing each of them $700.
Notice that the general function that represents such average will be given by: 
Plot such function in the two dimensional plane, and you will get the asymptotic behavior shown in the attached image.
Answer:
x = ± 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 5 = 3x² - 3 ( subtract x² + 5 from both sides )
0 = 2x² - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )
8 = 2x² ( divide both sides by 2 )
4 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ± 2
