Max and some friends shared the cost of a meal. The meal cost $51 and each person contributes $17. How many people share the cost meal?

3 people

Step-by-step explanation:

$51/$17 = 3 people

- We know to start with $51 dollars because that is the total price of the meal.

- We also know each meal costs $17.

- Next, ask youself what we are trying to find? We are trying to find how many people are eating.

- Therefore to find that we need to take our starting amount $51 divided by $17 because that is the cost of 1 meal.

- $51/$17 = 3 people (whole cost/individual cost = # of people)

- To check this take 3 x 17 = 51 (Now we know it is correct)

- If you would like a further explanation please let me know.

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
