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

1a/3a + 2 = 11 what does a equal
VashaNatasha [74]
Because in the numerator and denominator of the fraction 1a/3a, you're able to simplify that and get 1/3. There is actually no solution to the problem you're asking. You're unable to find out what (a) equals.

If ∠WOZ and ∠WOX are supplementary angles and ∠WOX and ∠XOY are complementary angles, then what is the value of x and m∠XOY?
omeli [17]

Answer:

D.x = 6; m∠XOY = 18°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180 and complementary angles add to 90

∠WOZ + ∠WOX = 180

108 + ∠WOX = 180

∠WOX + ∠XOY = 90

∠WOX + 3x = 90

∠WOX  = 90 -3x

Replace WOX in the first equation

108 + ∠WOX = 180

108 + 90 -3x = 180

Combine like terms

198 -3x = 180

Subtract 198 from each side

-3x = 180-198

-3x = -18

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -18/-3

x = 6

∠XOY  = 3x = 3*6 = 18
