To solve, you would need to make two equations and substitute one in for the other. Let a = # of adults, and c = # of children

5a + 2c = 1,220
a + c = 295

a + c = 295
-c         -c
a = 295 - c

5(295 - c) + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 5c + 2c = 1,220
1,475 - 3c = 1,220

1,475 - 3c = 1,220
-1,475           -1,475
-3c = -255

-3c/-3 = -255/-3
c = 85

a + c = 295
a + 85 = 295
     -85    -85
a = 210

210 adults attended the dance recital

Hope this helps!

Find (18 × 106) + (5 × 104). A) 1.8005 × 106 B) 1.8005 × 107 C) 1.805 × 106 D) 1.805 × 107
Andrews [41]
The answer is D. Because (18 x 10^6) + (5 x 10^4) = 18050000. And the answer to 1.805 x 10^7 also equals 18050000, if you do the math.

An inequality is shown: −np − 4 ≤ 2(c − 3) Which of the following solves for n?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{n\leq\dfrac{2-2c}{p}\ \text{for}\ p0}

Step-by-step explanation:

-np-4\leq2(c-3)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\-np-4\leq2c-6\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\-np\leq2c-2\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\np\geq2-2c\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ p\neq0\\\\\text{If}\ p0 ,\ \text{then}\\\boxed{n\geq\dfrac{2-2c}{p}}

The points J, K, L and M all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the ratio of JK:KL:LMJK:KL:LM is equal to 1:
RideAnS [48]

Answer: JL = 25

Step-by-step explanation: Segment JM is the total measure of the line segment and it equals 45.

Suppose first segment JK measures d.

The total ratio is the sum of each part

d + 4d + 4d = 9d

The sum of each part corresponds to the total measure of the line segment. Then:

9d = 45

d = 5

Segment JL is

JL = d + 4d

JL = 5d

JL = 5.5

JL = 25

Segment JL measures 25 units.
