Answer: 9 7/12
TO simplify the answer make common denominator which would be 12 so 5/6 times 2 on each 10/12 & 3/4 x3 becomes 9/12 so those make 1 7/12 add with 1 and 7
The answer is the third one.
The way I think through these problems is that where you multiply (-7x), you use addition, and where you use addition (-4), you multiply.
The answers added together will equal the second number, -7, and multiplied will give you the third, -4.
What you had chosen as the answer was close. But 7.53+-0.53 equals positive 7, not negative. However they do round to -4 when multiplied.
The correct answer, -7.53 and 0.53, do equal -7 when added together and equal -4 when multiplied.
Answer: 16 men
32 women
38 children
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of men in the group.
Let y represent the number if women in the group.
Let z represent the number of children in the group.
A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that
x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that
x = y/2
There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that
z = y + 6
Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes
y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86
multiplying through by 2, it becomes
y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172
5y = 172 - 12 = 160
y = 160/5 = 32
x = y/2 = 32/2
x = 16
z = y + 6 = 32 + 6
z = 38
