In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.

Let's say that children = c and adults = a

30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960

I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.

   a + c = 960 
       - c    -    c
 ---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
   a = 960 - c 



20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
   19,200 - 8c = 19,080
 - 19,200         - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
         8c = -120                    into the opposite equation.                                                
       ------  ---------
          8         8
 
         c = -15



30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
   30a - 180 = 19,080
          + 180  +     180
 -------------------------------
   30a = 19,260
  -------   -----------
    30          30
     
       a = 642

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.

$30x+$12y=$19080
x+y=960
y=960-x
30*x+12*960-x=$19080
30x-12x=-7560
-18x=-7560
x=-7560/-18
x=420
therefore there are 420 children
960-420=540
and there are 540 adults

Solve a,b,c,d please
sdas [7]
For each, replace x with the number in the parenthaseses

a.
f(2.5)=\frac{1}{2.5-2}=\frac{1}{0.5}=2


b.
f(1.75)=\frac{1}{1.75-2}=\frac{1}{-0.25}=-4


c.
f(2)=\frac{1}{2-2}=\frac{1}{0}=undefined
division by 0 is not allowed so it is undefined at the point


d. because division by 0 is not allowed

horrorfan [7]
It is (2/3d)^3
Make sure the exponent is on the outside. This is because you are raising 2/3d. Not just D
