 x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
   x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children

If you have a whole dollar then split it up into quarters. 4 quarters is 1 dollar. so take one quarter (25¢) So decimal from would be .25
faction form would be 1/4. beacuse if you multiple .25 × 4 it would be 1. and multiple
1/4 × 4/1 it would be 4/4 which equal 1

5 less than 3 times a number is 7. How would I write this as an equation
sladkih [1.3K]
You want to break this down.

“5 less than” means you’ll subtract 5 from something.

That something is “3 times a number.” “3 times a number” means 3•x or 3x, since we’ll use x for that unknown number.

So, “5 less than 3 times a number” means “subtract 5 from 3x”: 3x-5

“Is” means “equals”. So 3x-5= something.

7, well, that’s 7.

So “5 less than 3 times a number is 7” means ”subtract 5 from 3x and set that equal to 7.”

3x-5=7

Is the below equation always, sometimes, or never true<br> ?<br><br> 6+8x-9=11x+14-3x
Anna11 [10]
6+8x-9=11x+14-3x

Refine :

6+8x-9 :

8x+6-9 = 8 x - 3

Refine:

11x+14-3x:11x- 3x = 14 :

8x + 14

8x-3=8x + 14

8x - 8x = 14 +3

0 = 17

No solution

hope this helps!
