Let's denote the number of children at the party as (x).
According to the given information, when you give 4 chocolate bars to each child, you will have 38 chocolate bars left. This can be represented as the equation (4x + 38).
Similarly, when you give 7 chocolate bars to each child, you will have 2 chocolate bars left. This can be represented as the equation (7x + 2).
We can set up a system of equations using these conditions:
- (4x + 38 = \text{total number of chocolate bars})
- (7x + 2 = \text{total number of chocolate bars})
We can set these two expressions equal to each other since they represent the same total number of chocolate bars:
[ 4x + 38 = 7x + 2 ]
Now, we solve for (x):
[ 38 - 2 = 7x - 4x ] [ 36 = 3x ] [ x = \frac{36}{3} ] [ x = 12 ]
So, there were 12 children at the birthday party.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
