True [87]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adults in the zoo at 12 pm. Then the number of children at that time is 855 -x.

The number of remaining children is 1/5 of the number at 12 pm, so is ...

  (855 -x)/5

The number of remaining adults is 1/4 of the number at 12 pm, so is ...

  x/4

There are 36 more remaining children, so we have ...

  (855 -x)/5 -x/4 = 36

  171 -9x/20 = 36 . . . . . collect terms

  135 = 9x/20 . . . . . . . . add (9/20)x-36

  (20/9)(135) = x = 300 . . . . . multiply by 20/9

There were 300 adults in the zoo at 12 pm.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Ava is 26 and Grace age is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x=ava's age

y=grace's age

3y-1=x

x+y=35

Substitute 3y-1 to x+y=35 for the value of x to find grace age

3y-1+y=35

  4y-1=35

     +1  +1

4y=36

y=9       now substitute 9, the y value in 3y-1=x  to find ava's age

3(9)-1=x

x=26

to verify; 26+9=35

true 35=35
