100-71=29

71% lost means 29% remains

you want that 29% to weigh 128lb

so 29% of original=128lb

remember, percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100 so 29%=29/100
also, 'of' means multiply


29% of original=128
29/100 times original=128
multiply both sides by 100/29
original=12800/29
original=441.37931034482758620689655172414
so about 441lb of apples must be picked

Answer: 51 Children and 36 Adults.

Step-by-step explanation: Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.

We know that x+z= 87

We also know that 3.25x+3.5z= 291.75.

We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:

Multiply the first equation by -3.5 and add it to the second equation:

-3.5x-3.5z= -304.5

3.25x+3.5z= 291.75

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-0.25x=-12.75

x= -42.75 ÷ -0.25

x=51

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z

51+z=87

z=87-51

z= 36

Omg took me like 10 minutes to calculate would appreciate brainliest. Have a wonderful day.

|2x-8| + 3 = 5 two solutions
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The two solutions are 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a

Let us solve the question using this fact

∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3

∴ I2x - 8I = 2

By using the fact above

→ 1st solution

∵ 2x - 8 = 2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

∴ 2x = 10

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 5

→ 2nd solution

∵ 2x - 8 = -2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8

∴ 2x = 6

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 3

∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3
