Jose is trying to decide how many friends he can invite to his roller skating party. Skate rentals cost $2.50 per person, including Jose, and he knows that 3 adult chaperones plan to skate. How many friends can Jose invite if he wants to spend only $50.00 total on skate rentals?Jose can invite friends.

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

himself and three chaperones=4

4*2.50= 10.00

50.-10.= 40 left

40/2.50 rental= 16

So he has enough for 16 friends, 3 chaperones and himself.

check:

20 people *2.50= 50.00

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12
