The Skate Center charges a $50 flat fee kick-back party rental and $5.50 for each person who attends. Your parents gave you no more than $300 to spend on the party. How many people can you invite to the party without going over budget? I NEED THE ANSWER QUICK!

45 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: $50 to rent the Skate Center

$5.50 for each person who attends

Limit of spending: $300

How many people can attend=x

Step one, Make the equation

$5.50x+$50=$300

Reason: Since we know that amount of people(x) multiplied by $5.50 added to $50 will get us $300, we can make an equation from that. The equation will make the problem simpler to solve.

Step two, Start isolating x by subtracting $50 on both sides

$5.50x+$50-50=$300-50=$5.50x=$250

Reason: Since we have to find x, we have to isolate it. The first step in doing that is subtracting $50 by 50 to get rid of it. However, since what you do to one side, you do to the other, you have to subtract $300 by 50 to get $250.

Step three, Divide by 5.50 on both sides

$5.50x/5.50=$250/5.50=x=45.454545454-

Reason: Since we have to isolate x and 5..50 is being multiplied by x, you have to divide it by 5.50 to get rid of 5.50. What you do to one side, you do to the other so you divide 250/5.50 to get 45.4545454545-.

Since this is a irl problem, you have to round it to 45 people

45 people

Step-by-step explanation:

practice. practice. practice.

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
