Question

Please help me I would really appreciate it!!!!?!!

Jeffrey's birthday cost $21, plus an additional $2 for each guess he invites. How many guests can there be, at most, if jeffrey can afford to spent a total of $131 on his birthday party?​

Answer 1

55 guests

Explanation:

if he can afford to spend a total of $131, then you subtract the birthday cost ( $21 ) and divide the answer of those two ( $110 ) by $2 ( the amount for each guest ) which is 55, therefore, 55 is the largest number of guests Jeffrey can afford.

Answer 2

55 guests

Explanation:

131 = 21 + (2x)

subtract 21 from both sides

110 = 2x

x = 55 guests
