Question

Question Help At a graduation dinner, an equal number of guests was seated at each of 6 large tables, and 8 late-arriving guests were seated at a smaller table. There were 68 guests in all. If n represents the number of people seated at each of the large tables, what equation could you use to find the value of n?

A. 8n +6 = 68
B. 6n +8 = 68
C. 8n - 6 = 68
D. 6 - 8 = 68​

Answer 1

B.

This is because there were 6 large tables and our variable “n” represents the number of people seated at each of the large tables . 8 late people were seated at smaller tables so you add 8. That number is equal to the 68 guests in all .
