Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price for children and adults package be represented with x and y respectively.

For the first week the sum of the package will be as follows:

3x+8y = 126

For the two weeks after:

6x+4y= 108

So, we will be having two equations

3x+8y = 126..... (1)

6x+4y= 108.......(2)

These are simultaneous equations

From equation 1

3x+8y = 126

3x = 126-8y

X = 126-8y/3 ............. (3)

Put equation 3 into 2

6 ( 126-8y)/3 +4y = 108

756-48y/3 +4y = 108

756-48y+12y/3 = 108

Cross multiplying

756-48y+12y= 108×3

756-48y+ 12y = 324

Collecting like terms

756-324 = 48y-12y

432= 36y

Divide both sides by 36

432/36 = 36y/36

y= 12

Substituting y into equation 1

3x+8= 126

3x+96=126

3x= 126-96

3x= 30

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

Hence for each of the packages for children and adults. It will be 10 and 12 respectively.

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve w - 9 1/2 = 15? Add 15. Subtract 15. Add 9 1/2. Subtract 9 1

You want to undo the (-9 1/2), so you will add 9 1/2 to each side

Angle D has what measurement according to the protractor?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

B. 90^o

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a protractor and we are asked to find the measure of angle D.

We can see from our given protractor that the measure of angle D is 90 degrees as the ray OD crosses our protractor at 90 degrees.

Therefore, the measure of angle D is 90 degrees and option B is the correct choice.

James and Michael are the partners in a local business. They needed $480,000 to start the
larisa [96]

Answer:

James invested $160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

- In total, they needed $480,000 to start the business

- 1:2 ratio means one of them payed double the amount than the other

so the expression would be,

2x + x = 480,000

Let x represent how much they each need to invest

the expression can be simplified to,

3x = 480,000

now you need to get x alone, this would be done be dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{480,000}{3}\\x = 160,000

James invest $160,000

Michael invest $160,000 x 2 = $320,000

and if you add them together, you get the total amount

$320,000 + $160,000 = $480,000

Let me know if you have any questions !
