3x+5y=27.5  ...(1)
2x+3y=16  ...(2)
multiply (1)by 2 and (2)by 3
6x+10y=55  ...(3)
6x+9y=48   ...(4)
subtract (4) from (3)
6x+10y-6x-9y=55-48
y=7
from (2)
2x+3(7)=16
2x=16-21
2x=-5
x=-5/2=-2.5

Select the graph that correctly represents ƒ(x) = –2(x + 4)2 – 1.Find the equation of the parabola with its focus at (3,4) and i
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Equation of parabola:  8*(y - 2) = (x - 3)^2

or

y = (1/8)*(x - 3)^2 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

focus at (3,4) and its directrix y = 0.

Focus equation:  (h, k + c) = (3, 4)

Directrix equation  y =  k - c = 0

so  h = 3,   k + c = 4,   k - c = 0

Solve  the system :  k + c = 4 and k - c = 0

add the equations together:     k + c + k - c = 4 + 0

2k = 4

k = 2

so   k + c = 4,    2 + c = 4,   c = 2

4c (y - k) = (x -  h)^2

4*2 *(y - 2) = (x - 3)^2

8*(y - 2) = (x - 3)^2

There are 188 people on the trip and their total cost for the bike tour was $5040. There were twelve more adults than seniors on
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The answer to your question is there were 88 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of people = 188

total cost = $5040

12 more adults than seniors

number of children = ?

adults = a

children = c

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

             a + c = 188              Equation l

             a = c + 12                 Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution. Substitute equation equation ll in equation l

           (c + 12) + c = 188

-Solve for c

            c + 12 + c = 188

            2c + 12 = 188

            2c = 188 - 12

            2c = 176

              c = 176 / 2

              c = 88

3.- Conclusion

There were 88 children

In 36 years, Ishaan will be 3 times as old as he is right now. How old is he right now?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: He is 18 years old right now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Ishaan be x

After 36 years,

his age will be x+36

According to question,

it is mentioned that Ishaan will be 3 times as old as he is right now ,

So, we will frame it in equation:

x+36=3x\\\\36=3x-x\\\\36=2x\\\\x=\frac{36}{2}\\\\x=18\ years

Hence, he is 18 years old right now.
