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!

Step-by-step explanation:
10% as a decimal would be .10
The domain is the set of x-values of a function. The range is the set of y-values of a function.
You are told that the domain, or x-values, are -8, -6, -3, -2, and 2. To find the range, you just need to plug in each of the x-values into the function <span>y = -3x + 7 and find the value of y.
1) When x = -8:
</span><span>y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-8) + 7
y = 24 + 7
y = 31
2) When x = -6
</span>y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-6) + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
3) When x = -3
y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-3) + 7
y = 9 + 7
y = 16
4) When x = -2
y = -3x + 7
y = -3(-2) + 7
y = 6 + 7
y = 13
5) When y = 2
y = -3x + 7
y = -3(2) + 7
y = -6 + 7
y = 1
The range is {31, 25, 16, 13, 1}.
