Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In equation form,

children + adults = 48 people at the library.

If the number of children is 3 times the number of adults, then in equation form:

children = adults*3

Let's call children c and adults a.  Subbing the second equation into the first gives us an equation with only one unknown instead of 2.

c + a = 48 after making the substitution is

3a + a = 48 and

4a = 48 so

a = 12

There were 12 adults.  If the total number of people was 48, then

48 - 12 = number of children so

c = 36

Tom has 2 8-foot long boards he needs to cut pieces that are 15 inches long. How many 15 inch pieces can he cut from the two boa
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Tom can cut 12 (15 inch pieces) from the two boards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We're first given foot measurements and we're asked to find the answer in inches. That means we must convert 8 feet to inches, which is a 1:12 inches conversion. 8 times 12 will give you 96, so now you will multiply that value by 2 because Tom has 2 8-foot long boards. That will give you 192 inches. Since the question is asking for 'how many 15 inch pieces he can cut from the two boards?', you will need to divide 192 inches by 15 to find the answer. This will give you 12.8 boards. Because you can't have parts of an object, the answer will be 12 whole boards.

Write the standard equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,12) and has the same slope as a vertical line
Rom4ik [11]
Vertical lines have undefined slope. They are not y=mx+b equations, but simply x= equations.

This line passes through the point (-1,12) has an x-value of -1. Therefore the equation of the line is simply  x=-1
