The ratio of adults being 5:3 means that you should first divide the audience into 8 sections. You get 18. Now, you can multiply 18 by 5 to find out how many adults there are, since 5 means quantity of adults. 

There are 90 adults

ycow [4]

Answer:

7x - 5 = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, substitute y = -5 into the equation 7x + y = 11.

This becomes 7x + (-5) = 11 or 7x - 5 = 11.

Caroline’s hair is 7 inches long and grows about ⅕ inch each month. Trinity’s hair is 10 inches long and grows about 1/10 inch e

B
I know this right away because notice how it says “EACH month.” When it includes each you have to have an “x” beside the number to make it each month. If you don’t have an x it will just be “a single month.”

Sorry if that’s confusing I’m bad at explaining but have a nice day:))

3x+1 = y 2x+3y = 14<br> please explain the steps if you can as well
Likurg_2 [28]
3x + 1 = y
2x + 3y = 14

To solve this system of equations, we are going to use the substitution method.  Substitution the equation where the variable is isolated into the second equation.  In this system of equations, y is isolated, so we will replace y in the second equation with 3x + 1.

2x + 3y = 14
2x + 3(3x + 1) = 14
2x + 9x + 3 = 14
We will add the like terms and subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
11x + 3 = 14
11x = 11
x = 1
In this system of equations, x is equal to 1.  Now we will go back and solve for y, plugging in 1 for x.
3(1) + 1 = y
2(1) + 3y = 14

3 + 1 = y
2 + 3y = 14

4 = y
3y = 2

4 = y
4 = y

The solution to this system of equations is (1, 4).
