x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children
Mean means average, so you would add the numbers up and divide by the amount of numbers in the set.
we know that
1 ft--------> is equals to 12 in
the ramp is 12 inches tall----------> 1 ft tall
A ramp measures------------------> 6 ft long
applying the Pythagorean theorem
c²=a²+b²
where
c-----> 6 ft long
a----> horizontal distance
b-----> 1 ft tall
a²=c²-b²------> a²=6²-1²-----> a²=35------> a=√35------> a=5.92 ft
the answer is
5.92 ft
Answer:
x is 6
look at the ratio of 2.1 to 21
2.1 is multiplied by 10 to get 21 and therefore since these fractions are equal, x would have to be 6 in order for the equation to work
