A Broadway musical was attended by a total of 2,838 people, including men, women, and children. The number of women who attended

the event was 5 more than 3 times the number of children, while the number of men was 3 less than 4 times the number of women. Write an equation to model this situation. Then, use the equation to find the number of men, women, and children who attended the musical.

Total= 2838
x= # of children
3x+5= # of women
4(3x+5)-3= # of men

x + (3x+5) + 4(3x+5)-3= 2838
multiply 4 by 3x+5 first

x + (3x+5) + (4*3x) + (4*5) - 3= 2838
combine like terms

4x + 5 + 12x + 20 - 3= 2838
16x + 22= 2838
subtract 22 from both sides

16x= 2816
divide both sides by 16

x= 176

ANSWER:
# Children= x= 176
# Women= 3x+5= 3(176)+5= 533
# Men= 4(3x+5)-3=4(3(176)+5)-3= 2129

CHECK:
#children + #women + #men= 2838
176 + 533 + 2129= 2838
2838= 2838

Hope this helps! :)

Two equations are given below: a – 3b = 22 a = b – 2 What is the solution to the set of equations in the form (a, b)? (–10, –8)
aliya0001 [1]
Hi Kristian

a - 3b = 22
a = b - 2

We need to solve a = b -2 for a
First, we need to substitute b - 2 for a in a - 3b = 22
a - 3b = 22
b - 2 - 3b = 22
-2b - 2 = 22
 -2b = 22 + 2
-2b = 24
b = 24/-2
b = -12

Now substitute -12 for b in a = b - 2
a = b -2
a= -12 - 2
a= -14

Thus, the solution is a = -14 and b = -12

The correct option is the last one (-14,-12)


If you have questions about my answer, please let me know.


Good luck!

Of the 58 employees in a firm, 8 are considered support staff, and 7 of the employees have more than five years of experience. A
polet [3.4K]

Using statistical concepts, it is found that the number of outcomes that are possible for the complement of the union of Events J and K is of 43.

<h3>What is the union of events J and K?</h3>

It means that at least one of event J or event K is true, hence, it is composed by employees that are either considered support staff(less than 5 years of experience) or employees that have more than five years of experience, combining a total of 7 + 8 = 15 employees.

<h3>What is the complement?</h3>

The total number of outcomes of the union of J and K, plus the complement, add to the total number of 58, hence:

15 + x = 58

x = 43.

The number of outcomes that are possible for the complement of the union of Events J and K is of 43.
