Answer: $8 and a ratio could be 12 for 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to get the x’s by themselves. Subtract the 6 making 4x=2 1/2x +6. Then subtract the 2 1/2x making 1 1/2x=6. Finally you need to do 6/1.5=x. I did 1.5 because it is the same as 1 and 1/2z your answer will be 4.
Answer: 22.55 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed of the train be n
4 × 62 = 248 which is the distance travelled by the car in 4 hours and the train travelled in 11 hours
11 × n = 248
11n = 248
n = 248/11
n = 22.55mph
Answer: the cost of admission for each child is $10
the cost of admission for each adult is $14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of admission for each child.
Let y represent the cost of admission for each adult.
The cost of admission to a popular music concert was 162 dollars for 12 children and 3 adults. This is expressed as
12x + 3y = 162- - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The admission was 122 dollars for 8 children and 3 adults in another music concert. This is expressed as
8x + 3y = 122- - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
4x = 40
x = 40/4
x = 10
Substituting x = 10 into equation 1, it becomes
12 × 10 + 3y = 162
120 + 3y = 162
3y = 162 - 120
3y = 42
y = 42/3
y = 14
