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.

algebraically determine the values of h and k to correctly complete the identity stated below : 2 x cubed - 10x squared + 11x -
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The values for expression is h = - 2 and k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given algebraic expression can be written as :

2 x³ - 10 x² + 11 x - 7 = ( x - 4 ) × ( 2 x² + h x + 3 ) + k

Now opening the bracket

Or, 2 x³ - 10 x² + 11 x - 7 = x × ( 2 x² + h x + 3 ) - 4 × ( 2 x² + h x + 3  ) + k

Or, 2 x³ - 10 x² + 11 x - 7 = 2 x³ + h x² + 3 x - 2 x² - 4 h x - 12  +k

Or , 2 x³ - 10 x² + 11 x - 7 = 2 x³ + ( h - 2 ) x² + ( 3 - 4 h ) x - 12  + k

Now, equating the equation both sides

I.e  - 10 =  ( h - 2 )

Or , h - 2 = - 10

I.e , h = - 10 + 2

∴ h = - 2

Again , 11  = ( 3 - 4 h )

or, 11 = 3 - 4 h

or, 11 - 3 = - 4 h

or, 8 = - 4 h

∴ h = \frac{-8}{4}

I.e h = - 2

Again

- 7 = - 12 + k

Or, k = - 7 + 12

∴  k = 5

Hence The values for expression is h = - 2 and k = 5    . Answer

Irrational numbers are imaginary. true or false
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Imaginary numbers are not rational which may lead you to believe that they must be irrational. Though logical, you would still be incorrect because “irrational” also applies only to real numbers.
