A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the n

umber of adults. The number of female students was half the number of male students. If the total number of people who went on the trip is 82, find the numbers of male students and female students.

Given:
adults = x
male = 7x + 1
female = (7x + 1)/2
total number of people = 82

x + (7x + 1) + [(7x +1)/2] = 82
2x/2 + (14x + 2)/2 + (7x + 1)/2 = 82
2x + 14x + 2 + 7x + 1 = 82 * 2
23x + 3 = 164
23x = 164 - 3
23x = 161
x = 161/23
x = 7

adults = x = 7
males = 7x + 1 = 7(7) + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50
females = (7x+1)/2 = 50/2 = 25

7 + 50 + 25 = 82

Answer:

Base

Step-by-step explanation:

A power is the product of multiplying a number by itself. Usually, a power is represented with a base number and an exponent. The base number tells what number is being multiplied. The exponent, a small number written above and to the right of the base number, tells how many times the base number is being multiplied.

You bike 1 mile the first day of your​ training, 1.3 miles the second​ day, 1.9 miles the third​ day, and 3.1 miles the fourth d
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

19.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have:

d_1=1 mi is the distance travelled during the 1st day

d_2=1.3 mi is the distance travelled during the 2nd day

d_3=1.9 mi is the distance travelled during the 3rd day

d_4=3.1 mi is the distance travelled during the 4th day

We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

d_2-d_1=0.3\\d_3-d_2=2\cdot 0.3 = 0.6\\d_4-d_3=2\cdot 0.6 = 1.2

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

d_{n+1}-d_n=2(d_n-d_{n-1})

This means that

d_{n+1}=d_n+2(d_n-d_{n-1})

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

d_1=1\\d_2=1.3\\d_3=1.9\\d_4=3.1\\d_5=3.1+2\cdot 1.2=5.5\\d_6=5.5+2\cdot 2.4=10.3\\d_7=10.3+2\cdot 4.8=19.9 mi

So, the  distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.
