Given:
1 inch : 18 kilometers

Let us use the ratio and proportion method:

a:b = c:d where ad = bc

0.8 inches is <u>14.4 kilometers</u>

1 : 18 = 0.8 : x
x = 0.8 * 18
x = 14.4 km

1.4 inches is <u>25.2 kilometers</u>

1: 18 = 1.4 : x
x = 18 * 1.4
x = 25.2 km

2.1 inches is <u>37.8 kilometers</u>

1 : 18 = 2.1 : x
x = 18 * 2.1
x = 37.8 km

Hey there!

In order to find out the answer to this question, we can distribute

$-30 = 2(x - 97) \\ \\ \\ 2(x) = 2x \\ \\ 2(97) = 197$

Flip your problem around!

$2x - 194 = -30$

Add by $194$ on each of your sides

Like: $2x - 194 + 194 \\ \\ \\ -30 + 194$

Cancel out: $-194 + 194$ because they would give you the outcome of $0$

Keep: $-30 + 194 [/tex] because that'll give you: [tex]164$

Your problem becomes: $2x = 164$

Now, we have to divide by $2$ on each of the sides

Like: $\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{164}{2}$

Cancel: $\frac{2x}{2}$ because it will give you a outcome of $1$

Keep: $\frac{164}{2}$ because this will give you your answer

$Answer: x = 82$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Tickets to a concert cost $2 for children, $3 for teenagers and $5 for adults. When 570 people attended the concert, the total t

-Dominant- [34]

Let

x--------> the number of children

y------> the number of teenagers

z------> the number of adults

we know that

$2x+3y+5z=1,950$ ------> equation A

$x+y+z=570$ -----> equation B

$y=\frac{3}{4}x$

$x=\frac{4}{3}y$ -------> equation C

Substitute equation C in equation A and equation B

$2[\frac{4}{3}y]+3y+5z=1,950$

$\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950$ --------> equation D

$[\frac{4}{3}y]+y+z=570$

$\frac{7}{3}y+z=570$ --------> equation E

Multiply equation E by $-5$

$-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850$ --------> equation F

Adds equation D and equation F

$\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950\\\\-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850\\\\---------\\\\-\frac{18}{3}y=-900\\\\y=3*900/18\\\\y=150\ teenagers$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

$150\ teenagers$

A candy maker is making candy canes to sell over the holidays she has 45 left over the last month sale and she can make 225 per

notsponge [240]

F(x) stands for a function, and if x stands for the number of days, than she can do 225 per day, which would be the multiplication to find the toatl 225x.

Then, with 45 extra, we add that to the equation:

F(x) = 225x + 45

Answer: F(x) = 225x + 45
