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

A car is traveling at a steady speed. It travels 1 and one half
OLga [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 mi = 2 and 1/4 min

In 43 minutes:

43 ÷ 2.15 = 20             2.15 = 2 and 1/4 min

Now you have to multiply 1.5 by 20

1.5 x 20 = 30

In 1 hour (60 minutes):

60 ÷ 2.15 = 27.9

Now you have to multiply 1.5 by 27.9

1.5 x 27.9 = 41.85

Hope this was helpful :)

The radius of a circle is 8 inches. What is the angle of an arc 2π inches long?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

π/4 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length formula is s = rФ, where Ф is the central angle (in radians).

Here, r = 8 inches and s = arc length = 2π inches.  We need to find the central angle, Ф.  The formula given above is s = rФ, or, equivalently,

Ф = s/r.

Here, the central angle is Ф = s/r = 2π/8, or π/4 radians.
