Answer:

461 adults and 864 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 1,325 tickets were purchased, then s+a=1325.

We also know that a total of $3,169 was collected and adult tickets cost $5 each and students cost $1 each. We can write 1s+5a=3169.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We first solve the first equation for s which is s=1325-a. Substitute s=1325-a into 1s+5a=3169. Simplify and isolate the variable a.

1(1325-a)+5a=3169

1325-a+5a=3169

1325+4a=3169

1325-1325+4a=3169-1325

4a=1844

a=461

This means that 461 adults attended and 864 students attended since 864+461=1325.

Help me find the equation for the dimensions of a window, please!
Zinaida [17]
On the sheet, it's not even asking you for the dimensions.
It's just asking you to set up the <em>equation that you would use</em>
to find the dimensions.  That's a great way to do it, because
nobody actually needs the answers, the whole thing is only
meant to help you learn HOW to find them.
==========================================
Call the width of the window 'W' .

We know that the length is 5 feet more than the width, so the length is (W + 5).

The area is (length times width).

Area = (W + 5) times (W).

36 = (W + 5) W

36 = W² + 5W

Subtract 36 from each side:

W² + 5W - 36 = 0

That's choice-4 .

The number of a two dollar bill i need to pay for a purchase is 9 more than the number of 5 dollar bills i need to pay for the s
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we need t $2 bills and v $5 bills.

We need 9 more $2 bills than $5 bills, so:

t = 9 + v

We also know that the amount of money in t $2 bills is 2 * t = 2t. The amount of money in v + 9 $5 bills is 5 * (v + 9) = 5v + 45. These amounts are equal:

5v + 45 = 2t

Plug v + 9 in for t in 5v = 2t + 18:

5v = 2t + 18

5v = 2 * (9 + v) + 18

5v = 18 + 2v + 18

3v = 36

v = 12

We have 12 $5 bills, so that total cost is 12 * 5 = $60.

Stuck, need help please.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

22.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the cubic feet. That is the volume of the object which is length*width*height.

In your example, they are using inches. So you have to convert all units to feet. That would be 0.5 inches, 0.5 inches, and 5/3 inches. The volume would be 0.5*0.5*5/3 which is about 5/12 cubic feet

You then take that 5/12 cubic feet and multiply it by the 54 lbs/cubic foot. The answer would be 22.5 lbs
