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

Answer:

\huge \boxed{K=20}\checkmark

B. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>First, you divide by 5 from both sides of equation.</em>

<em>\displaystyle \frac{5k}{5}=\frac{100}{5}</em>

<em>Simplify, to find the answer.</em>

<em>\displaystyle 100\div5=20</em>

<em>\huge \boxed{K=20}, which is our answer.</em>

The equation y = 1/4x represents a proportional relationship. What is the constant of proportionality?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

[see below]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in the form:

y = kx

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Since 1/4 is in k's spot, the constant of proportionality should be '1/4'.

Hope this helps.
