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

1... -14 6(3k + 5)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lelu [443]

Answer:

-5/3, or in decimal form, -1.666.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -146 (3k+5)     --- distribute the -146 to "3k" and "+5."

b. -438k - 730 = 0 --- get the variable k to one side of the equation.

c. -438k=730 --- divide by -438 on both sides.

d. the answer you get is 730/-438, which, in simpler terms, is -5/3, or -1.666.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>

Which expression represents the fourth term in the binomial expansion of (e+2f)10
Darina [25.2K]
A = e;  b = 2 f;  n = 10.
The fourth term is:
T 4 = T (3+1) = ( 10 * 9 * 8 ) / ( 3 * 2 * 1 ) * e^7 * ( 2 f ) ^3 =
= 120 * e^7 * 2^3 * b^3 =
=  120 * 8 * e^7 * b^3 =
= 960 * e^7 * b^3
