Answer:
18.5
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to divide. If you leave it as a fraction, you won't be able to simplify. You can check my answer by multiplying 18.5 * 2
When you make the product of a binomial of the kind x + a times other binomial that is of the kind x - a, you obtain another binomial (not a trinomial), so any example with that form will be a counterexample that disproves the conjecture:
(x + a) * (x - a) = x^2 - a^2
For example, (x +3) * (x - 3) = x^2 - 9. So, not always the product of two binomials is a trinomial.
Let,
the no. of adults be "x"
then, the no. of childern = total people - total adults
= (30 - x)
Now,
According to the quesiton,
2 (30 - x) + 5x = 87
60 - 2x + 5x = 87
60 + 3x = 87
3x = 87 - 60
3x = 27
x = 27 / 3
x = 9
So, there were 9 adults in the group
Answer:
2x-6+2=14
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-6+2=14
2x-4=14
2x=14-4
2x=10
x=5
the greatest common multiple of 24 and 60 is 12
