Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Choose a variable to represent the number to be added to 5 and 3.

"Cross-multiply."

Check: The ratio of 5+3 to 3 + 3 is 8:6, equal to the ratio 4:3.
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>Let's first set up some variables</u>:
- c: # of children
- a: # of adults
<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>
- Elevator can hold a maximum of 1500 pounds
⇒ average child is 75 pounds
⇒ average adult is 150 pounds
⇒<em> therefore</em>: 
- Elevator can fit no more than 14 people
⇒ <em>therefore</em>: 
<u>Let's graph the equations</u>:

⇒ look at the image attached
<u>The point at which the two graphs intersect:</u>
⇒ <em>is the solution that represents the amount of children and adults and </em>
<em> their combine weight</em>
<em />
<u><em>With the horizontal axis being the # of children and vertical axis being the # of adults</em></u><em>:</em>
<em> ⇒ the </em><em>solution is 8 children and 6 adults</em>
<em></em>
<u>Answer: 8 children and 6 adults</u>
<u></u>

Answer:
C, E
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to change the equation of a circle from general form to standard form. This is done by making the leading coefficients 1, completing the squares, and then rewriting the equation in standard form.
The leading coefficients of the given equation are 2, so we first want to divide by 2. This gives ...
x² +y² -4x -6y +8 = 0
Subtracting 8 puts us in better position to complete the squares.
x² +y² -4x -6y = -8
Now, we can add the squares of half the coefficients of the linear terms.
(x² -4x +4) +(y² -6x +9) = -8 +13 . . . . . . matches C
And we can simplify this to the standard form equation:
(x -2)² +(y -3)² = 5 . . . . . matches E
For 3 it’s b. For 2 it’s 8. For 4 it’s the whole number
