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

How can you find the surface area of a composite solid made up of prisms ? (Help)
sammy [17]
Oh, this is easy. For any prism, you find the surface area by finding the are of all the sides. I will post all surface area formulas here, for reference
Cube:



Surface area = 6 × a2




Right circular cylinder:



Surface area = 2 × pi × r2   +  2 × pi × r × h

pi = 3.14
h is the height
r is the radius


Rectangular prism:



Surface area = 2 × l × w  +  2 × l × h  +  2 × w × h 




l is the length
w is the width
h is the height


Sphere:



Surface area = 4 × pi × r2 

pi = 3.14
r is the radius


Right circular cone:



Surface area = pi × r2  +  pi × r ×( √(h2 + r2)) 

pi = 3.14
r is the radius
h is the height
l is the slant height 


Right square pyramid:



Surface area = s2 + 2 × s × l

s is the length of the base
h is the height
l is the slant height

What are the factors of the equation 24x^2=9-30x?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

3(4x - 1)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation into standard form

Subtract 9 - 30x from both sides

24x² + 30x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

Take out 3 as a common factor

3(8x² + 10x - 3) = 0 ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x term

product = 8 × - 3 = - 24, sum = 10

The factors are - 2 and + 12

Use these factors to replace the x- term, that is

8x² - 2x + 12x - 3 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(4x - 1) + 3(4x - 1) ← take out the common factor (4x - 1)

(4x - 1)(2x + 3)

24x² + 30x - 9 = 3(4x - 1)(2x + 3) ← in factored form
