My son wants to celebrate his birthday at the bowling alley with a few of his friends. He has $70 to spend. The bowling alley charges a flat fee of $40 for a private party and $4.50 per person for shoe rentals and unlimited bowling. The maximum number of people he can pay for at the bowling alley is __.​

he can pay for 6 people total (including him)

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets subtract the flat fee from the total amount of money he has

70 - 40 = 30

now lets divide 30 by  $4.50 to see how many people he can pay for

30 / $4.50 = about 6.5

obviously you cant pay for half a person so he can invite 5 people (he also has to pay for himself)

6 people

Step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4
