Answer:

7 guests

Explanation:

Given that,

Terrence's birthday party costs $ 1.

Additional $6 for each guests he invites

aWe need to find the number of guests if he can afford to spend a total of $43 on his birthday party.Lethe invites x guests. So,

1+6x = 43

6x = 43-1

42 = 6x

x = 7

So, he should invite 7 guests on his birthday party.
