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

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is the slope using the points (0, 10) and (3, 4).  The slope is found using the formula \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

\frac{4-10}{3-0}= \frac{-6}{3}=-2

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • The slope of the line through points (3,y) and (4,10) is 7 .

<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • The value of y .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

As we know that the slope of the line is difference of ordinate divided by the difference of absicca as ,

\longrightarrow m = y -10 / 3 - 4

\longrightarrow 7 (-1) = y -10

\longrightarrow -7 = y -10

\longrightarrow y = 10 -7

\longrightarrow y = 3

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> required</u><u> answer</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>3.</u>
