(x + a)/(ax) = b/x
a= 2
b = 5
(x + 2) /(2x) = 5/x
cross multiply
x * (x+2) = (2x)*5
x^2 + 2x = 10x
x^2 - 8x = 0
x ( x -8) = 0
We get two solutions
x = 0, 8
the solution 0 is extraneous
the solution 8 is valid.
Answer:
144 children and 170 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
make 2 equations
make :
the children as the regarded as the variable : x
the adults are the regarded as the variable : y
<em>5x + 6 y = 1740</em>
<em>x + y = 314</em>
<h3><u>solve this by the method of elimination </u></h3>
5x + 6y = 1740
5(x + y = 314)
= 5x + 5y = 1570
5x + 6y = 1740
5x + 5y = 1570
the 5x is cancelled out
6y - 5y = 1740 - 1570
y = 170
now replace the value of y in the eqaution
5x + 6 (170) = 1740
5x =720
x = 144
hence they were 144 children and 170 adults

Answer:
x = 28°
Explanation:
|| means parallel lines.
<u>reason</u>:
Alternate interior angles, so has same angle measure.
Answer
wherever the decimal is, put it directly on top of the dividing line thing. Now that the decimal looks like a regular whole number you can divide like you usually would. Whenever you do regular long division, your answer is always going to be on the top of the line. Your answer should have a decimal in it ... and that should be your answer.
