To prepare for a party, Mark buys a small bunch of balloons for $6.00 and gift bags that cost $5.15 each. He spends a total of $72.95 on the balloons and a gift bag for each person invited to the party. Write and solve an equation to find x, the number of
people Mark invited to the party

 , Required equation

The number of  people Mark invited to the party = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Total amount spent = (Price of bunch of ballons)+(cost per gift) x (Number of persons)

Given: Total amount spent =$72.95 , Price of bunch of ballons =$6.00 ,

cost per gift =$5.15

thus,

 , Required equation

To solve , first

subtract 6 from both sides, we get

The number of  people Mark invited to the party = 13

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
