Let the number of adults be x, then number of male students is 1 + 7x and the number of female students is (1 + 7x)/2.
x + 1 + 7x + (1 + 7x)/2 = 82
2x + 2 + 14x + 1 + 7x = 164
23x = 164 - 2 - 1 = 161
x = 161/23 = 7

Therefore, number of male students is 1 + 7(7) = 1 + 49 = 50
and the number of female students is 50/2 = 25.

madam [21]

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x + 3 and the slope is 1/2.

<h3>What is a straight line?</h3>

A straight line is a combination of endless points joined on both sides of the point.

The slope 'm' of any straight line is given by:

\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\

As we can see in the graph the line goes from (-6, 0) and (0, 3)

Finding the slope:

\rm m =\dfrac{3-0}{0-(-6)}\\

m = 3/6 = 1/2

y = mx + c

y = (1/2)x + c

c is the y-intercept

c = 3

The equation:

y = (1/2)x + 3

Thus, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x + 3 and the slope is 1/2.

Solve using quadratic equations
olasank [31]
4x² - 9x² + 5 = 0
4x² - 4x - 5x + 5 = 0
4x(x - 1) - 5(x - 1) = 0
(4x - 5)(x - 1) = 0

Set each binomial equal to zero. 

4x - 5 = 0
4x = 0 + 5
4x = 5
x = 5/4

x - 1 = 0
x = 0 + 1
x = 1

Your solutions are x = 1, 5/4
