Number of Children = 165

Number of Adults = 182

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults

Then according to given statements

x+y=347\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\and\\1.75x+2.50y=743.75\ \ \ \ Eqn 2\\From 1:\\x=347-y\\Putting\ this\ in\ equation\ 2\\1.75(347-y)+2.50y=743.75\\607.25-1.75y+2.50y=743.75\\0.75y+607.25=743.75\\0.75y=743.75-607.2\\0.75y=136.5\\

y=\frac{136.5}{0.75}\\y=182\\Putting\ y=182\ in\ eqn\ 1\\x+182=347\\x=347-182\\x=165

Number of Children = 165

Number of Adults = 182

3x^2-x=10<br><br> Find factors <br><br><br> Determine zeros
Sophie [7]

Factors are (3x + 5) and (x - 2). Zeros are -5/3 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given quadratic equation 3x² - x = 10 ⇒ 3x² - x - 10 = 0
  • Step 2: Use factoring method (product and sum rule) to find factors and zeros. So the equation can be written as below.

⇒ 3x² - 6x + 5x - 10 = 0

⇒ 3x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2) = 0

⇒ (3x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 These are the factors of the equation.

  • Step 3: Find zeros by equating the factors to 0.

⇒ 3x + 5 = 0 and x - 2 = 0

⇒ x = -5/3 and 2

The Sun hits a 30 foot flagpole at a 60° angle and casts an unobstructed 52 foot shadow. If a building is built 32 feet away, wh
aivan3 [116]

Answer: 11.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shadow of the building = length of the shadow - distance of the building

= 52 - 32

= 20

Let the height the shadow strike the side of the building be h

then by similar shape rule

h / 20 = 30 / 52

52h = 30 x 20

52h = 600

h = 600/52

h = 11.53846154

h ≈ 11.5

Mrs. Long just got a new puppy! The puppy is learning how to run on hard wood floors. The puppy is running at a rate if 4 feet p
Igoryamba

Answer:

Points apply to the given situation:

(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds

(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second.

(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

A puppy is running at a rate = 4 feet per second

A wall is 20 feet away from puppy. That means initially puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

So, time taken by puppy to reach the wall =

i.e. time take by puppy to reach the wall =  = 5 seconds

 Now we write the points that apply to this situation:

(a)The puppy will run into the wall after 5 seconds

(b)The slope is -4 ft per second since the puppy is running at a rate of 4 ft per second. {Since the puppy is moving towards the wall that means horizontal distance is decreasing at a rate of -4 feet per second}

(c)The y-intercept is 20 ft because the puppy is 20 feet away from the wall.

I have an image of the problem
dybincka [34]

Find the area of the circle:

Area = 3.14 x 12^2 = 3.24x144 = 452.16 cm^2

The sector is 60 degrees.

Multiply the area of the circle by the fraction of the sector:

452.16 x 60/360 = 75.36 cm^2
