Answer:

Adults that clean in March = 18

Adults that clean in April = 48

Adults that clean in May = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Adults that clean in the months of March, April and May = 70

Let a represent March, b represent April and c represent May.

Therefore, a + b + c = 70     (i)

From the question, the number of adults that clean in April is 14 more than number of the adults cleaning in months of March and May combined.

b - ( a + c) = 14      (ii)

also, the total number who clean in April and May is 2 more than three times the number who clean in March.

b + c - 3a = 2     (iii)

From (i), a + c =   70 - b (iv)

Substituting (iv) into (ii), b - ( 70 - b) = 14

b -70 + b = 14

2b = 84, b =48

Therefore a + c = 70 - 48

a + c = 22; c = 22 - a   (v)

Substituting (v) and b = 48 into (iii)

48 + 22 - a -3a = 2

4a = 72, a = 18

Therefore, c = 22 - 18

c = 4

Does anyone know how to Graph f(x)=51(2)^x
3241004551 [841]
This is an exponential function.   

If x = 0, 2^x = 2^0 = 1.  The beginning value of 2^x is 1 and the beginning value of 51*2^x is 51.

Make a table and graph the points:

x        y=51*2^x                                point (x,y)
--       ---------------                            ---------------
0             51                                       (0,51)
2            51*2^2 = 51(4) = 204           (2,204)             and so on.

The graph shows up in both Quadrants I and II.  Its y-intercept is (0,51).  Its slope is always positive.
