Answer:

The number of adults who attended=850

The number of children who attended=350

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Determine first expression

Let the number of each group be as follows;

adults=a

children=c

total number of people=1200

This can be expressed as;

number of people=number of children+number of adults

replacing;

a+c=1200...equation 1

b). Determine the second expression

Let the total cost be expressed as shown;

total cost=(cost per child×number of children)+(cost per adult×number of adults)

where;

total cost=$8,375

cost per child=$4.5

number of children=c

cost per adult=$8

number of adults=a

replacing;

(8×a)+(4.5×c)=1,200

8 a+4.5 c=8,375...equation 2

c). Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously

1(8 a+4.5 c=8,375)

4.5(a+c=1,200)=4.5 a+4.5 c=5,400

(8 a-4.5 a)+(4.5 c-4.5 c)=(8,375-5,400)=2,975

3.5 a=2,975

a=2,975/3.5

a=850

replacing the value for a in equation 1

850+c=1200

c=1200-850=350

The number of adults who attended=850

The number of children who attended=350

A train leaves at 11.15 and arrives at its destination at 12.23. If the train travelled 95 km, what was it's average speed in km
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Average speed v = 83.8 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Distance travelled = 95 km

Time taken t = 12.23 - 11.15 = 1 hour 8 minutes

t = 1 + 8/60 hours = 1.133 hours.

Average speed v = distance travelled/time taken

substituting the values;

v = 95 km ÷ 1.133 hours

Average speed v = 83.8 km/h

Help please, I’m confused and could you please explain the best you can do I understand? Thank you so much if you decide to help
ElenaW [278]

A ray is basically a line that has a "fixed point" on one end (this would be represented by a shaded circle on one end) and the opposite end goes to infinity (this would be represented by an arrow). The first image below is an example of a ray.

When writing rays out you must write it like in the third image below. Note that there is a "ray" on top of the "letters". The letter that signifies the end point (In the example below this would be "A") is under the side that has NO arrow symbol, and the letter that signifies the continues end is under the side of the ray that HAS the arrow. In other words the "formula" for writing out rays is:

End point; infinite end

We must find four rays with the endpoint E. This means that the "fixed point" must be E and the other end must continue indefinitely.

In the second image below I have colored each ray with the end point E in a different color.

First we have the ray EA (I don't know how to make the ray symbol on here so just assume that above EA the arrow looks like so: --->)

Next is ray EG (again the symbol above EG is --->)

Next is the ray ED (symbol above ED is --->)

Finally EF is a ray with the end point E (symbol above EF is --->)

When looking at the answer choices the only two that even use the correct symbol is B and C.

The issue with option C is that the end point (E) doesn't come first when they wrote it out.

That makes the answer B!

Hope this helped!

According to this site, if you know the coordinates of two points on a line, what form would you use to write the equation of th
Nesterboy [21]
If you know two points on a line you can solve for slope, m (some people say rise over run, or change in y over change in x). In the attached picture, it's the top equation in blue.

Then you can plug that into the point-slope formula (middle equation, in red), which if needed can be algebraically changed to look like the slope-intercept formula (third equation, in yellow).

But to answer your question, use the point-slope formula.
