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! :)

Julie used her gift card for the local coffee shop to buy iced teas for herself and five friends. After she and one friend place
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

One glass of iced tea cost $2.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the amount of gift card.

y be the amount of one glass of iced tea.

According to given statement;

Julie and her friend bought tea and remaining balance was $14.85

x - 2y = $14.85     Eqn 1

All the six members bought tea and remaining balance was $3.97

x - 6y = $3.97      Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(x-2y)-(x-6y)=14.85-3.97\\x-2y-x+6y=10.88\\4y=10.88

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{10.88}{4}\\y=2.72

Hence,

One glass of iced tea cost $2.72

What are the maximum and minimum of the function f(x) = 0.9|-(x − 5)| + 7?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Maximum value:

the maximum value is \infty

Minimum value:

the minimum value is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given function as

f(x)=0.9|-(x-5)|+7

Firstly, we will draw graph

we can see the graph

and then we can identify maximum and minimum

Maximum value:

We know that

the largest y-value means maximum value of f(x)

We can see that curve is moving upward

so, the maximum value is \infty

Minimum value:

We know that

the smallest y-value means minimum value of f(x)

we can see that

It starts from point (5,7)

so, the minimum value is 7
