Answer:
<u>There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Men(M), Women(W) and Children(C)
We learn that:
M = 35
W = 1.5C , and
M+W+C = 65
----
M+W+C = 65
M+1.5C+C = 65
35+1.5C+C = 65
2.5C = 30
C = 12
If C=12 and W=1.5C, then W=18
----
<u>There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women</u>
(35+12+18) = 65 participants
Answer: the width of the uniform path is 9 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the width of the uniform path.
A pool measuring 18 meters by 22 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. It means that the combined length of the pool and the uniform path is (18 + 2x) meters and the combined width of the pool and the uniform path is (22 + 2x) meters.
If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1440 square meters, it means that
(18 + 2x)(22 + 2x) = 1440
396 + 36x + 44x + 4x² = 1440
4x² + 80x + 396 - 1440 = 0
4x² + 80x - 1044 = 0
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, it becomes
x² + 20x - 261 = 0
x² + 29x - 9x - 261 = 0
x(x + 29) - 9(x + 29) = 0
x - 9 = 0 or x + 29 = 0
x = 9 or x = 29
Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 9 meters
9 + t/12 = -3
t/12 = -12
t = -144

Y = 0.5x + 3 is the equation
