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

What is the area of a section of pavement that is 20 ft wide and 70 yd long?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A = 4200 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula for area is

A = l*w

We need to have the same units

convert yd to ft

1 yd = 3ft

Multiply each by 70

70 yds = 210 ft

A = 210 *20

A = 4200 ft^2

Lapatulllka [165]

Options :

A. The initial number of bacteria is 7.

B. The initial of bacteria decreases at a rate of 93% each day.

C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.

D. The number of bacteria at the end of one day is 360.

Answer:

C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

f(x)=360(1.07)^x ; Number of bacteria in sample at the end of x days :

The function above represents an exponential growth function :

With the general form ; Ab^x

Where A = initial amount ;

b = growth rate

x = time

For the function :

A = initial amount of bacteria = 360

b = growth rate = (1 + r) = 1.07

If ; (1 + r) = 1.07 ; we can solve for r to obtain the daily growth rate ;

1 + r = 1.07

r = 1.07 - 1

r = 0.07

r as a percentage ;

0.07 * 100% = 7%
