Steve and Michelle Neely are celebrating their 30th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $2,500 for their reception. If the reception hall charges a $80 cleanup fee plus $39 per person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget.

To solve the inequality, we will first simplify both sides:

1/4 (x + 4) < 1/5 (3x + 2)

Distribute the 1/4 and 1/5:
(x + 4)/4 < (3x + 2)/5

Multiply both sides by 4:
x + 4 < 4/5 (3x + 2)

Multiply both sides by 5:
5(x + 4) < 4 (3x + 2)

Distribute the 5 and 4:
5x + 20 < 12x + 8

Subtract 12x from both sides:
-7x + 20 < 8

Subtract 20 from both sides:
-7x < -12

Divide both sides by -7 (reversing the inequality):
x > 12/7

The solution set is all real numbers greater than 12/7.

Graphing this on a number line, we put an open circle at 12/7 and shade to the right to represent all the values greater than 12/7:

The answer in interval notation is (12/7, ∞).

To solve the inequality, we will first simplify both sides:

-6 < 2(x - 3) <= 11

Distribute the 2:
-6 < 2x - 6 <= 11

Add 6 to all parts of the inequality:
0 < 2x <= 17

Divide all parts by 2 (reversing the inequality for negative numbers):
0/2 < 2x/2 <= 17/2

Simplify:
0 < x <= 17/2

The solution set is all real numbers greater than 0 and less than or equal to 17/2.

Graphing this on a number line, we put an open circle at 0 and a closed circle at 17/2, and shade between them to represent all the values greater than 0 and less than or equal to 17/2:

-------o=========o-----
0 17/2

In interval notation, we can express the solution set as (0, 17/2]. This means that x is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 17/2.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's redo the solution.

To solve the inequality, we will first simplify both sides:

-6 < 2(x - 3) ≤ 11

Distribute the 2:
-6 < 2x - 6 ≤ 11

Add 6 to all parts of the inequality:
0 < 2x ≤ 17

Divide all parts by 2:
0/2 < 2x/2 ≤ 17/2

Simplify:
0 < x ≤ 17/2

The solution set is all real numbers greater than 0 and less than or equal to 17/2.

Let's denote the width of the rectangle as w.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula: P = 2(length + width)

Given that the length is 25 centimeters and the perimeter must be no greater than 80 centimeters, we can set up the following inequality:

2(25 + w) ≤ 80

Simplify this inequality:

50 + 2w ≤ 80

Subtract 50 from both sides:

2w ≤ 30

Divide both sides by 2:

w ≤ 15

Therefore, the maximum width of the rectangle should be 15 centimeters to ensure that the perimeter is no greater than 80 centimeters.

Let's denote the number of people they invite as "x".
The total cost of the reception hall is composed of two parts:
1. Cleanup fee: $80.
2. Cost per person: $39 * x (since each person costs $39).

We need to find the value of x that satisfies the budget constraint, where the total cost is no greater than $2,500:

80 + 39x ≤ 2500

Subtract 80 from both sides:

39x ≤ 2420

Divide both sides by 39:

x ≤ 62.051

Since the number of people must be a whole number, the greatest number of people they may invite is 62.

Therefore, they may invite a maximum of 62 people and still stay within their budget.
