Jane arranges m chairs in each of n rows to seat x people.

1 answer:

8 0

The formula to find the number of chairs in each row is m = x ÷ n,
where
m - the number of chairs,
n - the number of rows,
x - the number of people.

If 60 people attend the meeting and each row has 4 chairs, there are 15 rows.
This is assumed using the above formula:
m = x ÷ n

If:
x = 60
m = 4

Then:
4 = 60 ÷ n
⇒ n = 60 ÷ 4
⇒ n = 15

Solve solve the following equations 2x (x minus 5) close + 3(x-2)=8+7(x-4)

stiv31 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(x-5)+3(x-2)=8+7(x-4)

2x²-10x+3x-6=8+7x-28(Group like terms)

2x²-10x+3x-7x=8-28+6

2x²-7x-7x=-20+6

2x²-14x=-14(Divide both sides by -14)

2x²-x=1

2x=1

x=½

Twice the sum of two numbers is 24. if one number is 2 times larger than the other, what is the smaller of the two numbers?

Vikki [24]

2(x+y)=24
2x=y

Use substitution. If y=2x, than we can substitute 2x for it in the other equation, because x and y equal the same things in both equations.

So using that we get 2(x+2x)=24

SIMPLIFY
2(3x)=24

DISTRIBUTE
6x=24.

DIVIDE: x=4.

If we substitute x into the original equations we get x=4 and y=8. Those are your two numbers.

Have a nice day! :)
