Deb wants to organize a group of friends to go to a karaoke studio Friday night. She must pay $30 to reserve a private karaoke room plus $5 for each person in the group. She also wants to have snacks for the group at a cost of $2 per person. How many people can Deb invite in order to spend a total of $65?

Fill in the blanks to create an equation to represent the situation.

blank x + 2x + blank = 65

Answer :

Based on the solution below, the number of people Deb can invite in order to spend a total of $65 is 5 people.

How do we use an equation to find a number?

Given:

blank x + 2x + blank = 65 ............................... (1)

Where:

x = Number of people Deb can invite

First blank with x variable = 5; since Deb must pay an additional $5 for each person in the group

Second blank without x variable = 30; since Deb $30 to reserve a private karaoke room

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) and solving for x, we have:

5x + 2x + 30 = 65

7x = 65 - 30

7x = 35

x = 35 / 7

x = 5
