Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

you first divide 81 by 18 and get 4.5, that is the number of children per adult.

next you'll divide 27 by 4.5 and 6.

that's the answer.

Pls solve the simultaneous equation in the attachment.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Part a) The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we have

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{5}=1$ ----> equation A

$y-\frac{x}{3}=8$ ----> equation B

Multiply equation A by 10 both sides to remove the fractions

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

isolate the variable y in equation B

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

we have the system of equations

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation D in equation C

$5x-2(\frac{x}{3}+8)=10$

solve for x

$5x-\frac{2x}{3}-16=10$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$15x-2x-48=30$

$15x-2x=48+30$

Combine like terms

$13x=78$

$x=6$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$

$y=\frac{6}{3}+8$

$y=10$

The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) we have

$xy=21$ ---> equation A

$x+5y=22$ ----> equation B

isolate the variable x in the equation B

$x=22-5y$ ----> equation C

substitute equation C in equation A

$(22-5y)y=21$

solve for y

$22y-5y^2=21$

$5y^2-22y+21=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solutions are y=1.4, y=3

see the attached figure

<em>Find the values of x</em>

For y=1.4

$x=22-5(1.4)=15$

For y=3

$x=22-5(3)=7$

therefore

The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

Solve for x and y

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

x = 2√2

y = 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the ratio of the two legs of the two smaller interior right triangles. (refer to attached diagrams for the triangles - I have outlined one in blue and the other in red)

These will be equal since the triangles are similar

shorter leg : longer leg

(blue triangle = red triangle)

⇒ x : 4 = 2 : x

⇒ x/4 = 2/x

⇒ x² = 8

⇒ x = √8

⇒ x = 2√2

Now we have x, we have the two legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse labelled y.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse)

⇒ 4² + (2√2)² = y²

⇒ y² = 24

⇒ y = √24

⇒ y = 2√6
