A + c = 148 -> c = 148 - a
12a + 9c = 1410

12a + 9(148 - a) = 1410
12a + 1332 - 9a = 1410
3a = 78
a = 26

26 + c = 148
c = 122

We'll call the number of adults (x). Since there are 148 people total, the number of children will be 148 minus the number of adults, or (148 - x). 

<span>12 pounds for each adult = 12x </span>
<span>9 pounds for each child = 9 (148-x) = (1332 - 9x) </span>

<span>The total pounds for adults plus children is 1,410, so the equation would be: </span>

<span>12x + (1332 - 9x) = 1410 </span>

<span>Combine like terms: </span>

<span>3x + 1332 = 1410 </span>

<span>Get x term alone by subtracting 1332 from both sides: </span>

<span>3x = 78 </span>

<span>Solve for x by dividing both sides by 3 </span>

<span>x = 26 = number of adults </span>

Mr. Blake took 10 minutes to drive 5 miles,
Sav [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3, 4, and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

distance = 5 miles

time to cover 5 miles = 10 minutes

If his claim is true then,

additional Distance = 15 miles

total distance will be = 15+5 = 20 miles

additional time = 30 minutes

total time = 10+30 = 40 minutes

Solution:

The speed of the vehicle can be calculated by the formula:

V = d/t

where V is speed or velocity

d = distance

t = time

Putting the final or total values in formula =

V = 20/40

= 1/2 (5th statement is true)

In an hour where 60 minutes are there, 1/2 = 30 miles per hour.

Thus, 3rd and 4th statement are true.

√45 is the distance between which of the following complex numbers?
Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

we don't see the complex numbers.

so, we cannot check their distances.

a suspicion, though.

sqrt(45) a distance between 2 complex numbers is

sqrt(a² + b²).

so,

a² + b² = 45

a nice combination of whole square numbers would be 6 and 3.

6² + 3² = 36 + 9 = 45

if that is the case, then that would mean one of the following committed numbers

6 + 3i

3 + 6i

-6 + 3i

6 - 3i

-6 - 3i

-3 + 6i

3 - 6i

-3 - 6i

one of these numbers must be the result of the subtraction of the 2 provided complex numbers.

remember

(a + bi) - (c + di) = a-c + (b-d)i
