Frank devised a formula for his catering business that calculates the number of meatballs he needs to prepare. the formula is m=4a+2c, where c=number of children; m= number of meatballs; a=number of adults. how many meatballs are required for a party of 25 adults and 7 children?

So if m=4a+2c is your equation then all you have to do is plug in the numbers.

So you then get m=4(25)+2(7), for 25 adults and 7 children.

Then you solve.  m=100+2(7)
                           m=100+14
                            m=114
So Frank will need 114 Meatballs for the party of 25 adults and 7 children
 Hope this helps! And if you need anything else just ask :)

Where is the table?
