Answer: the spring would be stretched by 38 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. Let L represent the length of the spring and let w represent the weight placed at the end of the spring. Introducing a constant of variation, k, the expression would be

L = kW

If a weight of 15lb stretches a certain spring 19in, the expression would be

19 = 15k

k = 19/15

The equation would be

L = 19w/15

if the weight is increased to 30lb, then the length by which the spring would be stretched is

L = 19 × 30/15

L = 38 inches

Tickets to the zoo cost $14 for adults and $10 for children. A group of 12 people went to the zoo, and the tickets cost $140. Th
hjlf
 x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
   x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children

A city planner makes a scale drawing of a proposed playground. The length of the actual playground is 78 feet, and the width is
Allushta [10]

Answer:

  B)  6.5 inches by 3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the actual dimensions by the scale gives the scale dimensions:

  (0.5 in)/(6 ft) × {78 ft, 42 ft}

  = {39/6 in, 21/6 in}

  = {6.5 in, 3.5 in}

The size on the scale drawing is 6.5 inches by 3.5 inches.
