 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

A pitcher struck out 11 out of 40 batters. Write an equivalent decimal.
Komok [63]

Answer:

0.275

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write 11 out of 40 batters as a decimal.

We can write 11 out of 40 as a fraction to get:

\frac{11}{40}

Note that:

\frac{11}{40}  =  \frac{1}{4}  \times  \frac{11}{10}

This implies that:

\frac{11}{40}  = 0.25  \times 1.1

This gives us

\frac{11}{40 }  = 0.275

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38

3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32

To solve by elimination, multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 2.

3(-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38) --> -6<em>x</em> + 18<em>y</em> = -114

2(3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32) --> 6<em>x</em> - 8<em>y</em> = 64

Add the equations.

-6<em>x </em>+ 18<em>y</em> = -114

6<em>x</em> - 8<em>y</em> = 64

+_____________

0 + 10<em>y</em> = -50

10<em>y</em> = -50

<em>y</em> = -5

Substitute -5 for y into one of the original equations to find x.

3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32

3<em>x</em> - 4(-5) = 32

3<em>x</em> + 20 = 32

3<em>x</em> = 12

<em>x</em> = 4

Check work by plugging the <em>x</em>- and <em>y</em>-values into both of the original equations.

-2<em>x</em> + 6<em>y</em> = -38

-2(4) + 6(-5) = -38

-8 - 30 = 38

38 = 38


3<em>x</em> - 4<em>y</em> = 32

3(4) - 4(-5) = 32

12 + 20 = 32

32 = 32

Answer:

<em>x</em> = 4 and <em>y</em> = -5; (4, -5).
