trip. Each small car can hold 5 people and each large car can hold 8 people. The students rented 5 more small cars than large cars, which altogether can hold 51 people. Determine the number of small cars rented and the number of large cars rented.

Answer: The number of small cars rented = 7

The number of large cars rented=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of small cars rented and y be the number of large cars rented.

As per given statements , we have the following system of equations:

5x+8y=51--------(1)\\\\ x=y+5--------------(2)

Substitute the value of x from (2) in (1), we get

5(y+5)+8y=51

5(y)+5(5)+8y=51    (Distributive property)

5y+25+8y=51

13y=51-25  (Subtract 25 on both both sides)

13y=26

y=2 (Divide both sides by 13)

Put value of y in (2) , we get x=2+5 =7

∴ The number of small cars rented = 7

The number of large cars rented=2

A=1/2bh. A=200ft. H=10. What is b
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

B= \frac{2A}{H}

Step-by-step explanation:

If you noticed, A= \frac{1}{2}BH is the formula for finding the area for a triangle. Your goal is to get B by it's self. Your first step will be to clear of the fraction first, so you will multiply both sides by 2.   2(A)=2(\frac{1}{2}BH).    On the left, you have 2×A= On the right side, you have     2(\frac{1}{2}BH),     but since you have a number in the equation, you will only use 2×\frac{1}{2}. To solve  2×\frac{1}{2}, you will cnacel out both 2's and you have 1. 1×BH will still equal BH, so you are now left will B×H.

(Your new equation looks like this by the way).    2A=BH

Since you need to get B by its self, the way to clear the H away from the B is by dividing.  You will now divide the B and H aswell as 2A and H. (It will look like this) \frac{2A}{H} = \frac{BxH}{H} . (Again when you have the same number or letter, you cross it out. When you divide, you won't change anything on the left side, and all you have to do on the right id to cross out the H next to the B and cross out the H on the bottom of the equation). You should be left with \frac{2A}{H} = B. Now you can turn it around for your final answer. B= \frac{2A}{H}.

Please let me know if i helped, how I did, and if you have any questions.
