Answer:
B 1/y^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The negative exponent says move it from the numerator to the denominator
(If it were in the denominator we would move it to the numerator)
y^-3 becomes 1/y^3
Answer:
13 children and 9 adults if the total cost is $152.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x children and y adults
x + y = 22 (1)
5.5x + 9y = 125.5 (2)
y = 22 - x
5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 125.5
5.5x + 198 - 9x = 125.5
-3.5x = 125.5 - 198
-3.5x = -72.5
x = 20.7
y = 22 - x = 1.3
Which is not possible
If the total cost is $152.5
x + y = 22 (1)
5.5x + 9y = 152.5 (2)
y = 22 - x
5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 152.5
5.5x + 198 - 9x = 152.5
-3.5x = 152.5 - 198
-3.5x = -45.5
x = 13
y = 22 - 13 = 9
