Answer: 5 people

Explanation:

For this word problem, we can use the description in the problem to construct an equation. Let's use x for number of people.

3.5x+5.5x+6=51 [combine like terms]

9x+6=51 [subtract both sides by 6]

9x=45 [divide both sides by 9]

x=5

There were 5 people that went to the fair.
