351 children and 308 adults swam at the public pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Children = x

Adults = y

Price per children = $1.75

Price per adult = $2.00

According to given statement;

x+y=659    Eqn 1

1.75x+2y=1230.25   Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 1\ by\ 2\\2(x+y=659)\\2x+2y=1318 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 2\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(2x+2y)-(1.75x+2y)=1318-1230.25\\2x+2y-1.75x-2y=87.75\\0.25x=87.75\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.25\\\frac{0.25x}{0.25}=\frac{87.75}{0.25}\\x=351\\Putting\ value\ of\ x\ in\ Eqn\ 1\\351+y=659\\Subtracting\ 351\ from\ both\ sides\\351-351+y=659-351\\y=308

351 children and 308 adults swam at the public pool.

emmainna [20.7K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Find a set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics. (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of equations in terms of x, y, z, and t.) The line passes through the point (3, 1, 2) and is parallel to the line given by x  = y = z.

Answer:

the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

line x = y = z and point ( 3, 1, 2 )

the given line can be written as;

[x-0 / 1] = [y-0 / 1] = [z-0 / 1]

if two lines are parallel directional ratios are equal.

so DIRECTIONAL RATIOS  of given line is ( 1, 1, 1 )

therefore required line is;

[x-3 / 1] = [y-1 / 1] = [z-2 / 1] = t

⇒ [x-3 / 1] = t

x = t+3

[y-1 / 1] = t

y = t+1

[z-2 / 1] = t

z = t+2

Therefore the set of parametric equations of the line with the given characteristics are; x = t+3, y = t+1, z = t+2

-1/3 + (-7/4)<br> pls help
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

  -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

    12  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

           7

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       1           7

 (0 -  —) +  (0 -  —)

       3           4

Step  2  :

           1

Simplify   —

           3

Equation at the end of step  2  :

       1     -7

 (0 -  —) +  ——

       3     4

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       3

     The right denominator is :       4

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor   Left

Denominator   Right

Denominator   L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

3 1 0 1

2 0 2 2

Product of all

Prime Factors  3 4 12

     Least Common Multiple:

     12

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 4

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 3

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      -1 • 4

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      -7 • 3

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               12  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

-1 • 4 + -7 • 3     -25

———————————————  =  ———

      12            12

Final result :

 -25            

 ——— = -2.08333

 12

Someone answer urgent and if so I will mark brainliest
krok68 [10]

Answer:

B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is wrong because 3/8 would shrink the circle, not expand it.

B. is correct because 8/3 means the circle will expand, not shrink.

C. is wrong because those coordinates only reposition and move the circle, not dilate.

D. is wrong because those coordinates only reposition and move the circle, not dilate.
