<span>To do this, we have to setup equations and then use substitution to get like terms. c=children, s=students, a=adults For total cost: 5350 = 5c + 7s + 9a Total capacity: 750 = c + s + a Data given: (.5)(c + s) = a Now, rearranging the data given equation for (c+s) gives us (c+s)= 2a. Using this and substituting into the total capacity equation for (c+s) will allow us to find a: 750 = 2a + a = 3a which gives us a = 750/3 = 250. Next, we set a = 250 in total cost and data given equation to get the following: Total Cost: 5350 = 5c + 7s + 2250 which gives 3100 = 5c + 7s Total Capacity: 750 = c + s + 250 which gives 500 = c + s Rearranging total capacity to solve for s: s = 500 - c Plugging that expression for s into total cost gives us: 3100 = 5c + 7(500-c) = 5c - 7c + 3500. Solving for c gives us 400 = 2c . Total number of children is c = 200. Total number of students is s = 750 - 200 - 250 = 300.</span>

Solve for x in the problem below
Leokris [45]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves knowing the sum of angles in a triangle as well as the sum of supplementary angles. In any triangle, the sum of all the angles will always add up to 180°.  Supplementary angles add up to 180° and form a straight line.  In order to solve for 'x', we must set up an equation where the sum of the angles is equal to 180°.  Since the last angle of the triangle is not given, but we know that the value will be equal to 180 - (14x + 1), we can simplify this to 180 - 14x -1 or 179 - 14x.  We also know that this angle plus the other two angles of the triangle will add up to 180:

89 + 179 - 14x + 5x  - 7 = 180

Combine like terms:  261 - 9x = 180

Inverse operations: 261 - 261 - 9x = 180 - 261 or -9x = -81

Solve for x:  x = 9

A flying carpet flies 2.4 miles with the wind in the same amount of time it flies 1.4 miles against the wind. The wind speed is
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

15.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4÷(x+4)=1.4÷(x-4)

1.4(x+4)=2.4(x-4)

1.4x+5.6=2.4x-9.6

-x=-15.2

x=15.2

Hope this helps!
