Answer: number of adults = 3, number of children = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of adults be x, and the number of children be y.
x + y = 8 , 15x + 8y = 85
1st equation x 8 = 8x + 8y = 64

substitute x=3

Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
11/4 plus 11/4 is 22/4
to make this a whole number and a fraction we subtract 4 from the 22 as many times as we can. we can do this 5 times, with 2 left over.
the answer is 5 2/4, which you can simplify to 5 and a half
Answer:
4 is the coefficient of 4n
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
x² + 2x + 1 = 2x² - 2 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides
0 = x² - 2x - 3 ← in standard form
0 = (x - 3)(x + 1) ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
-----------------------------------
(b)
-
=
( multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions )
5(x + 2) - 2 = 3(x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
5x + 10 - 2 = 3x - 6
5x + 8 = 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
2x + 8 = - 6 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
2x = - 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 7
--------------------------------------------
(c) Assuming lg means log then using the rules of logarithms
log
⇔ nlogx
log x = log y ⇒ x = y
Given
log(2x + 3) = 2logx
log(2x + 3) = log x² , so
x² = 2x + 3 ( subtract 2x + 3 from both sides )
x² - 2x - 3 = 0
(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0
x = 3 , x = - 1
x > 0 then x = 3
