Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a series of equations to be able to sub back and forth into one another in order to get this down to one variable, s for spectators. This is what we know from the info (in algebraic expression/equation form):
.6s = men (60% of the spectators are men)
.4s = women + children (40% of the spectators are women and children)
# of children = 2/3 women
# of men = women + 252 (There are 252 more men than women) and
# women = men - 252
Those are the equations we need to solve for the number of spectators.
Start at the top with
.6s = men. We know that the number of men = women + 252, so
.6s = women + 252.
.4s = women + children. We know that the number of children is 2/3 the number of women, so
.4s = women + 2/3 women. If the number of men = women + 252, then
.4s = men - 252 + 2/3(men - 252) which simplifies to
.4s = 3/3 men - 252 + 2/3 men - 168 and
.4s = 5/3 men - 420 and
.4s = s - 420 and
-.6s = -420 so
s = 700
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
first find the square's area by multiplying 12 × 12 to get 144
then divide 144 ÷ 16 to find the width which is 9
4ax+12-3ax=25+3a
Ax+12=25+3a
Ax=25-12+3a
Ax=13+3a
X=13/a+3
its false or open because 17-8 = 9 and you cannot divide 8 by 9 so you will not find x
