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

Two number cubes are rolled.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

When two number cubes  are rolled,

Sample space= Total Possible outcome {11,22,33,44,55,66,12,21,13,31,14,41,15,51,16,61,23,32,24,42,25,52,26,62,34,43,35,53,36,63,45,54,46,64,56,65}=36

Probability of an event = \frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total possible outcome}}

Sum of 4 is obtained when ={13,31,22}=3

Probability of getting 4 when 2 number cubes are rolled= \frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}

Sum of the numbers is greater than 9= 10, 11,12={55,64,46,56,65,66}=6

Probability of getting(Sum of the numbers is greater than 9)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}
