Answer:

a=5, s=3

Step-by-step explanation:

a=adult s=student

then write 2 equations to represent the amount of people and money

a+s=8

7.25a+5.5s=52.75

• To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

{a+s=8, 7.25a+5.5s=52.75}

• Choose one of the equations and solve it for a by isolating a on the left hand side of the equal sign.

a+s=8

• Subtract s from both sides of the equation.

a=−s+8

• Substitute −s+8 for a in the other equation, 7.25a+5.5s=52.75.

7.25(−s+8)+5.5s=52.75

• Multiply 7.25 times −s+8.

−7.25s+58+5.5s=52.75

• Add −29s/4  to 11s/2.

−1.75s+58=52.75

• Subtract 58 from both sides of the equation.

−1.75s=−5.25

• Divide both sides of the equation by −1.75, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

s=3

• Substitute 3 for s in a=−s+8. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for a directly.

a=−3+8

• Add 8 to −3.

a=5

Please please help me!!!! :)

Answer:

Measure of ∠5 is 142°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, Lines L and M are parallel.

As, the third line is intersecting both line L and M.

<em>We know that, 'The opposite angles formed by the intersecting lines are equal'.</em>

Since, the sum of the four angles formed by the third line and M is 360°.

So, we get,

∠1 + ∠6 + ∠7 + 38 = 360°

i.e. 2∠1 + 2×38°  = 360°

i.e. 2∠1 = 360° - 76°

i.e. 2∠1 = 284°

i.e. ∠1 = 142°

Thus, ∠1 = ∠7 = 142°

Since, L and M are parallel.

So, ∠3 = ∠5 = 142°

Hence, we get that measure of ∠5 is 142°.

3x-7=4x+10 <br> show the steps pleeease
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-7=4x+10

Add 7 to both sides & simplify

3x-7=4x+10

+7           +7

3x=4x+17

Subtract 4x from both sides & simplify

3x=4x+17

-4x  -4x

-x=17

*Negative x equals -1*

Divide both sides by -1 & simplify

\frac{-x}{-1} =\frac{-17}{-1}

x=-17
