Answer:
Step-by-step explanation
- Let x be the number of adults and y the number of kids
We can then write this two equations :
x+y= 33
15x+7y= 311
- let's solve the two eaquations
to do that we should combine them both in a way that help us get rid of one of the variables.
Let's multiply the first equation by -7 to get rid of y by adding it to thr second equation
-7x-7y= -231
now add both equations .
15x+7y-7x-7y=311-231
we get : 8x = 80
as you notice y is gone and we get a classic easy equation to solve
x= 80/8
= 10
so the number of adults is 10
let's go back to the first equation ( x+y= 33) and replace x with 10
10+y= 33
y= 33-10
=23
let's check using the second equation :
(10*15)+(23*7) = 311
that is true
so :
- the number of adults is 10
- the number of kids is 23
Answer:
x = 3
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given triangle FGH,
m∠F + m∠G + m∠H = 180° [Triangle sum theorem]
60° + 90° + m∠H = 180°
m∠H = 30°
If the given triangles FGH and TUV are congruent, their corresponding sides will be equal in measure.
m∠F = m∠T
7y + 4 = 60°
7y = 56
y = 8
GH ≅ UV
8x - 12 = 12
8x = 24
x = 3
Answer:
The number of permutations of the group of letters given (J, K, L, M, N, O and P) is 7! = 7 . 6 . 5 . 4 . 3 . 2 . 1 = 5,040.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of permutations without repetition is the number of possible sequences that can occur if we take the letters one by one and is calculated with the factorial of the total number of letters in the group.
Before starting we have 7 possibilities, one for each letter. Once the first letter is chosen randomly, we will have 6 possibilities, after taking the third letter we will have 5 possibilities, and so on.
In total the total number of possibilities to obtain the 7 letters in a certain order are 7 by 6 by 5 by 4 by 3 by 2 by 1, sayed in other words factorial of 7 (7!). The result of the multiplication gives 5,040.
In short we can get the seven letters in 5,040 different sequences.
