Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
0 + 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 +8 + 9 + 10 + 11 seems to equal 66. That means there are 11 + 1 = 12 people (don’t forget to count the person who shakes 0 hands)
The original number is 72
(18+x)/6 = 1+14
1/6x + 3 = 1 + 14 (Distribute)
1/6x + 3 = (1+14) (Combine Like Terms)
1/6x + 3 = 15
- 3 = -3 (Subtract 3 From Both Sides)
1/6x = 12
(1/6x)*6 = 12 * 6 (Multiply Both Sides By 6)
x = 72
