Adults = x

Senior Citizens = y

x + y = 529......1

25x + 15y = 9745...2

Multiply (1) by 15

15x + 15y = 7935....3

25x + 15y = 9745....2

Subtract 3 from 2

10x = 1810

 

x = 181

Substitute x = 181 in

Eq (1)

x + y = 529

181 + y = 529

y = 529 - 181

y = 348

181 adults and 348 Senior Citizens

Hope this helps.

The functio p(x)= x(x-5)(x-2)(x+3) has four zeros. What is the smallest zero.
loris [4]

Answer:

x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3 thus 0 is the smallest root

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x (x - 5) (x - 2) (x + 3) = 0

Split into four equations:

x - 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

x = 5 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

Answer: x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3

Graph x<2.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

A graph showing a range of negative three to two on the x and y axes. A dotted line with arrows at both ends that passes through the x axis at two and runs parallel to the y axis. The graph is shaded to the left of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality given is x < 2. This means x is less than two are the values that satisfy the equation.

The equation can be written as x=2 to identify the position where the line will pass. The line is dotted and will pass through x=2 to be parallel with the y-axis.

The second and third answers are not correct because the line should not be solid.

The first answer is not correct because the shaded part should be to the left of the line.

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length , a, that are longer than the length of the base , b. The perimeter of the
Sholpan [36]
We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7 
where b represents the base.

Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a

We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm
