a+c=40

c=40-a

11c +20a=728

11(40-a)+20a=728

440-11a +20a=728

440+9a=728

9a = 288

a=288/9 = 32

32 adults

8 children

A + c = 40
20a + 11c = 728

Multiply equation # 1 by -11, then add the two equations together to clear the 'c' variable and solve for 'a'.

-11(a + c = 40)


20a + 11c = 728
-11a - 11c = -440
------------------------
9a  = 288
Divide both sides by 9
a = 32

a + c = 40
32 + c = 40
subtract 32 from both sides
c = 8

8 children and 32 adults; option 1

Answer: x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5 = 3x-6

2x-3x = -6-5

-x = -11

x = 11

Double-check:
11*2= 22                   11*3=33

22+5 = 27                33-6= 27

Damm [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are angles that are opposite, on the other side of the lines, so imagine it as a z shape.

In this case, alternate angles include, 3, 13, other equal angles are vertically opposite, so that would include 7, 1, 15. Vertically opposite angles that are two angles made opposite with 2 intersecting lines.

Hope this helps,
