186 children could attend.

The system of equations would be

A+C=320
8A+5C=2000

Solve the first equation for A by subtracting C from both sides:
A+C-C=320-C
A=320-C

Substitute this into the second equation:
8(320-C)+5C=2000
2560-8C+5C=2000
2560-3C=2000

Subtract 2560 from both sides:
2560-3C-2560=2000-2560
-3C=-560

Divide both sides by -3:
-3C/-3 = -560/-3
C = 186.7

Since we cannot have 0.7 of a child, there can be 186 children.

In 1992​, there were 41 comma 984 shopping centers in a certain country. In 2002​, there were 48 comma 225. ​(a) Write an equati
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation expressing the number y of shopping centers in terms of the number x of years after 1992 will be LINEAR in nature

The standard equation is expressed as;

y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

If in 1992​, there were 41,984 shopping centers in a certain country and in 2002​, there were 48,225 we can express this as coordinate points

(0, 41984) and (10, 48,225)

Get the slope

m = 48,225-41,984/10-0

m = 6241/10

m = 624.1

Get the intercept, substitute m = 624.1 and the point (0,48225) into the formula y = mx+c

48225 = 624.1(0)+c

48225 = 0+c

c = 48225

Get the required equation

y = 624.1x+48225

A spherical scoop of ice cream is placed on top of a hollow ice cream cone. the scoop and cone have the same radius. the ice cre
noname [10]
The figure shown below illustrates the problem.

The volume of the empty cone is
V₁ = (1/3) π r²h

The volume of the sphere is
V₂ = (4/3) π r³

Because the melted ice cream completely fills the cone, therefore
V₁ = V₂
(1/3) π r² h = (4/3) π r³
Divide each side by (1/3) π r².
h = 4r

Answer:
The height of the cone is 4 times greater than the radius f the cone.

3/4x-5/4=1/3x<br> Explain your answer
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/4)x-(5/4)=(1/3)x

(3/4)x-(1/3)x=(5/4)

x((3/4)-(1/3))=(5/4)

(5/12)x=(5/4)

x=(5/4)/(5/12)

x=3
