Answer:

c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adults in Tim's family. Then (17 - x) is the number of children in Tim's family.

We have $34x + $31.5(17 - x) = $558.

$34x + $31.5(17 - x) = $558

$34x + $535.5 - $31.5x = $558

$2.5x = $22.5

x = 9

Hence the answer is c.

Which equation demonstrates the distributive property? A) 2 (5 + 7) = 2 (7 + 5) B) 2 (5 + 7) = 2 × 5 + 2 × 7 C) (2 × 5) × 7 = 2
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property is when you distribute the values in a parenthesis with the outside multiplying factor

2*(5+7)= 2*5 + 2*7

2*(12) = 10 +14

24 = 24

distributive property holds true

Write an equation parallel to x - 3y = 9 that passes through the point ( 3, -1 )
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)   ....   x_1 = 3 and y_1 = - 1

m is the slope to  x - 3y = 9 because (lines are  parallel )

calculate : m   by equation   x - 3y = 9 :

x = 3y +9

divid by : 3      1/3 x = y + 3

y =  (1/3) x - 3      so : m = 1/3

an equation parallel to x - 3y = 9 that passes through the point ( 3, -1 ) is :

y +1 = (1/3)(x - 3)

Given the following triangle, if c = sqrt 5 and a = 2, find the measure of B to the nearest degree.
matrenka [14]
The measure of B will be given by:
cos θ= adjacent/hypotenuse
θ=B
adjacent=a=2
hypotenuse=c=√5
thus;
cos B=2/√5
thus
B=arccos 2/√5
B=26.565°~26°
