Answer:

a = 24*1/3

a =8  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults

students         3                   24

--------------- = ---------------  = -------------

adults                 1                   a

where a is the unknown number of adults

Using cross products

3a=24*1

Divide by 3

a = 24*1/3

a = 24/3

a = 8

a triangular flower bed needs a thin metal border all the way around it. The sides are 7 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet long.

Excuse my awful triangle drawing skills, haha..
So essentially you need to find the perimeter which is done by adding the lengths of the sides.. this gives you 22ft.
Then for part b you need to convert 22ft to yards which gives you 7.3 yards.
Since you can only buy a whole number of yards, you'll actually need 8 yards.
So if the boarder is $8.75 per yard, and you need 8 yards, how much would it cost?
Hope this was helpful.

In a shipment of airplane parts, 5% are known to be defective. If 21 parts are found to be defective, how many parts are in the
horrorfan [7]

We can use ratios and the cross-multiply-divide to find this.



The ratio 21:5 is avaliable via the question. We then need to compare that to the ratio x:100, the 100 being the percent and the x being the number of airplane parts.



21/5 = x/100



We can then solve for x to find the number of airplane parts. First we multiply by 100 on both sides to get 2100/5 = x. Therefore x = 420 and there are 420 airplane parts.

Answer:

x + 1

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we need to represent "y "in terms of "x" in the first equation, and the plug in the "y" value in the first equation into the second one. Luckily for us in the first equation it already shows what "y" is equal to in terms of "x" (based on the first equation y = -x + 10). Now we just need to plug in the value that we got instead of "y" in the second equation, and so we get....

y = 7x + 2

(plug in the y value and get the following ….)

-x + 10 = 7x + 2

(now just solve the following equation)

-x + 10 + x = 7x + 2 + x

10 = 8x + 2

10 - 2 = 8x + 2 - 2

8 = 8x

8/8 = 8x/8

1 = x

Now that we know the value of "x", all we need to do now is substitute the value of "x" into any of the equations and we will get the value of "y". So we do the following.....

y =  7x + 2

y = 7(1) + 2

y = 7 + 2

y = 9
