Answer:
3. 35 adults and 420 children
4. The three numbers are 13, 52 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
3. Let the number of adults be x.
Since there are 12 times more children than adults,
number of children= 12x
Total number of people= 12x +x
13x= 455
x= 455 ÷13
x= 35
12x= 35(12)
12x= 420
Therefore, there are 35 adults and 420 children at the play.
4. Let the first number be x.
Since the 2nd number is 4 times the first,
2nd number= 4x
Third number is 3 more than the first:
3rd number= x+3
sum of numbers= x +4x +x+3
6x +3= 81 (simplify)
6x= 81 -3 (bring constant to 1 side)
6x= 78 (simplify)
x= 78 ÷6
x= 13
Second number
= 4x
= 4(13) (subst. x=13)
= 52 (expand)
third number
= x +3
= 13 +3 (subst. x=13)
= 16
Answer:
x=3, y=-1. (3, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-5y=26
2x+4y=2
--------------
simplify 2x+4y=2 into x+2y=1
-------------
7x-5y=26
x+2y=1
-----------------
x=1-2y
7(1-2y)-5y=26
7-14y-5y=26
7-19y=26
19y=7-26
19y=-19
y=-19/19
y=-1
x+2(-1)=1
x-2=1
x=1+2
x=3
First, you replace x with -3.
It will look like -3/3.
Then you divide and get -1.
