Answer:

The total number of women (w)=800

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the total number of each group as follows;

Total number of people (p)=Number of Adults (a)+number of children (c)

2,500=a+c....equation 1

Number of Adults (a)=4×number of children (c)

a=4 c....equation 2

Replacing the value of a in equation 1 with the value for a in equation 2

2,500=4 c+c

5 c=2,500

c=2,500/5

c=500

Number of children (c)=500

Replace the value of c in equation 2 with 500 and solve

a=4×500

a=2,000

Number of adults (a)=2,000

But the total number of adults can be expressed as;

Total number of adults (a)=Total number of men (m)+total number of women (w)

a=m+w

where;

a=2,000

m=1,200

replacing;

2,000=1,200+w

w=2,000-1,200

w=800

The total number of women (w)=800

You are given the X value, replace x with 2 in the first equation to solve for y:

y=2x +3

y = 2(2) +3

y = 4+3

y = 7

Now replace y with 7 and x iwth 2 in the second equation and solve for k:

y = -x +k

7 = -2 +k

Add 2 to both sides:

9 = k

so k = 9

The point is given as k-2, which is 9-2 = 7, which is what y equals in the first equation.

K = 9

Noah has $50. He wants to buy a cell phone case for $20 and some accessories. Each accessory costs $8. How many accessories (x)
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Noah can buy 2 accessories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Money Noah has = $50

Cost of Cell phone case = $20

Cost of each accessory =$8

Amount he wants to be left = $8

So Total Amount he he wants to spend on accessories and Cell phone case will be equal to Money Noah has minus Amount he wants to be left.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Amount he he wants to spend on accessories and Cell phone case = \$50-\$8 =\$42

No we need to find the number of accessories Noah can buy.

Let the number of accessories be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Cost of Cell phone case plus Cost of each accessory multiplied by number of accessories should be less than or equal to Total Amount he he wants to spend on accessories and Cell phone case.

framing in equation form we get;

20+8x\leq 42

Subtracting both side by 20 we get using Subtraction property of Inequality.

20+8x-20\leq 42-20\\\\8x\leq 22

Now Dividing both side by 8 using Division property of Inequality we get;

\frac{8x}{8}\leq \frac{22}{8}\\\\x\leq 2.75

Now rounding to whole number we get ;

x\leq 2

Hence Noah can buy 2 accessories.
