Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of children = c

Number of adults = a

Total number of adults & children = 32

c + a = 32  --------------------(I)

Total amount = $ 487

Cost of child plate = $8

Cost of c child plates = 8c

Cost of an adult plate = $19

Cost of a adult plate = 19a

8c + 19a = 487 ---------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-8)

(I)* (-8)               -8c - 8a = -256

(II)                       <u>8c  + 19a = 487</u>  {Now add & c will be eliminated}

                                  11a = 231

a = 231/11

a = 21

Plugin the value of a in equation (I)

21 + c = 32

       c = 32 - 21

       c = 11

Number of adult plates = $ 21

Number of child plates = $ 11

Answer:

Adult plate = 21 , child plate = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

number of adult plate = a , no of child plate = c

$487 = $19a + $8c (equation 1)

32 = a + c (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 8 gets you:

256 = 8a + 8c (equation 3)

Solve equation 1 and equation 3 simultaneously:

487 = 19a + 8c (equation 1) minus

256 = 8a + 8c (equation 3) :

231 = 11a

a = 231/11

a= 21

Substitute a = 21 into equation 2 :

32 = 21 + c

c = 32 - 21

c = 11

So 21 adult plates and 11 child plates were sold.

What is the degree of vertex B and G?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

degree of vertex B = 2

degree of vertex g = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using given picture we need to find about what is the degree of vertex B and G.

In graph theory, we know that the degree (or valency) of a vertex of a graph is the number of edges incident to the vertex.

So we just need to count how many edges are incindent on vertex B and G.

From picture we see that number of edges incident on vertex B = 2

Hence degree of vertex B = 2

From picture we see that number of edges incident on vertex G = 4

Hence degree of vertex g = 4

GaryK [48]
Yes because you have to complete diagram A and B then you can do C so it’s depends on which numbers if it’s function or not.

A rectangle is 12m longer than it is wide. Its perimeter is 68m. Write and equation and show steps to find its length and width.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

  length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

  l + w = 34

  l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

  2l = 46

  l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

  w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.
