Hello there!

A = number of adults
C = number of children

Total number = A + C
A + C = 30

Total cost = A cost + C cost
Total cost = $50

Total cost = 3a + c
Equation: a + c = 30
                3a + c = 50

2a = 20   A = 10

10 + c = 30
C = 20

The answer is 
<span>20 children and 10 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 30
Equation 2: 3a + c = 50
</span>
Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Answer:
20 children and 10 adults
Equation 1: a + c = 30
Equation 2: 3a + c = 50
total~ of ~adults ~and~ children~ was~ 30 : a + c = 30 $3 per adult, $1 per child....total of $50 : 3a + c = 50 a + c = 30 a = 30 - c -- now sub 30 - c in for a in the other equation 3a + c = 50 3(30 - c) + c = 50 -- distribute through the parenthesis 90 - 3c + c = 50 -- subtract 90 from both sides -3c + c = 50 - 90 -- simplify -2c = - 40 -- divide both sides by -2 c = 20 a + c = 30 a + 20 = 30 a = 30 - 20 a = 10 so there are 20 children and 10 adults

(-1,-2) \:  \:  \:  \:  \: and \:  \:  \:  \:  \: (3,6) \\ Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x \\ y =  {x}^{2}  - 3 \\  \\ 2x =  {x}^{2}  - 3 \\  {x}^{2}  - 2x - 3 = 0 \\ (x + 1)(x - 3) = 0 \\ x + 1 = 0 \:  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x - 3 = 0 \\ x =  - 1 \:  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \:  \:  \:  \: x = 3

When x = -1

Substitute x = -1 into y = 2x

y = 2(-1)

y = -2

( -1, -2)

When x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into y = 2x

y = 2(3)

y = 6

( 3, 6)

V125BC [204]

Answer:

183.4286 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the population of weights for men attending a local health club is normally distributed with a mean of 178-lbs and a standard deviation of 25-lbs.

Total weight in the lift should not exceed 6420 lbs

No of persons limited = 35

Hence average weight of the person that should be below

\frac{6420}{35} \\=183.4286

If the average exceeds 183.4286 pounds then the elevator would be considered overloaded.
