20 adults and 50 kids.
-
Ax+By=C [Use the standard form of a linear equation]
x+y=C so, x+(C-x)=C [also use this formula]
.
$5.50x+$4.00y=$310 [plug-in the values]
Since x+(C-y)=C, than x+y=70 or x+(70-x)=70
.
5.50x+4.00(70-x)=310 [substitute (70-x) for y and simplify]
5.50x+280-4x=310
5.50-4=310-280 [solve for x]
1.5x=30
x=20 adults
and
y=(70-x)=70-20=50 kids under 12.

Rita runs 6 miles in 44 minutes. At the same rate, how many minutes would she take to run 9 miles?
kherson [118]

You run 0.5 miles every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes. Your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes. You run a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 6. Your freind runs a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 7 Then the least possible number of miles that you both run to end at the same time is the least common factor of 7 and 6 minutes. This is 7 * 6 = 42 minutes. You will have run 42 min / (6 miles/min) = 7 miles, and your friend will have run 42 min / (7 miles/min) = 6 miles

After m months, the height of a plant is 10+3m millimeters. How tall is the plant after eight months? Three years?
Oksanka [162]
Why not start out by writing a linear relationship for the plant height?

h(m) = 10 + 3m, where h is the height in mm and m is the time in years, starting from zero (0).

After 8 months, the plant height is h(8) = 10 mm + 3(8) mm, or 34 mm.

After 3 years (36 months), the plant ht. is h(36) = 118 mm.

Austin will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $38 and costs an ad
Nana76 [90]
38+0.11m=51+0.09m
0.02m=13
m=650 miles
If Austin will drive more than 650 miles he can choose the second plan of car renting.
If he plan todrive less than 650 miles then it's more preferable to choose the first plan of car renting
