Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the literal equation, y = 5x - rx - 5,
In order to solve for x, start by adding 5 on both sides of the equation:
y + 5 = 5x - rx - 5 + 5
y + 5 = 5x - rx
Next, factor out x from the right-hand side of the equation:
y + 5 = x(5 - r)
Finally, divide both sides by (5 - r) to isolate x:
Let c be children and a adults.
3.5c + 7a = 1771 (the total revenue is equal to the amounts made off of people)
c + a = 331 (total number of people)
The second formula becomes a = 331 - c. This can be substituted into the first formula.
3.5c + 7(331 - c) = 1771 = 7*331 - 3.5c = 1771. 7*331 = 2317, so 3.5c = 2317 - 1771 = 546.
546/3.5 = 156 = c (number of children).
c + a = 156 + a = 331 => a = 331 - 156 = 175 (number of adults).
There are 156 children and 175 adults
Hello!!
The difference between 4,632 and 20,000 is:
4,632 - 20,000 = -15,368
Good luck :)
