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.

The width of a rectangular garden is 4.5 meters shorter than its length which is x meters.
Contact [7]

Answer:

  A.  width = x - 4.5

  B.  111 = 2(x + (x -4.5))

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The width is 4.5 meters shorter than x, so is x -4.5.

__

B. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width. It is 111 meters, so an equation for it could be ...

  111 = 2(x + (x -4.5))

What is the simplified expression for Negative 3 (2 x minus y) + 2 y + 2 (x + y)?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

7y - 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (2x-y)+2y+2(x+y)\\

Step 1:  Open the brackets

= -6x+3y +2y +2(x+y)\\=-6x +3y + 2y +2x + 2y

Step 2: Bring the similar variables together

=-6x +2x \ +3y + 2y + 2y

Step 3: Simplify by adding/subtracting the coefficients of the similar variables

= - 4x +7y

Step 4: Rearrange as required.
