emilio writes the inequality 17(f+2) + 45.99<200 to better represent the situation, using the variable f to represent the number of friends. solve the inequality, then write the maximum nymber of friens attende the birthday party.

Respuesta :

Expand the left hand side:

[tex]17f+34+45.99<200[/tex]

Simplify the left hand side:

[tex]17f+79.99<200[/tex]

Subtract 79.99 from both side:

[tex]17f<120.01[/tex]

Divide both sides by 17:

[tex]f<\dfrac{120.01}{17} \approx 7.06[/tex]

So, he must invite less than 7 friend to the party.
