Answer:

Children = 51

Adults = 42

Students= 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Children = $2

Students = $3

Adults = $4

Total sales = $522

Total people who attended = 177

Adults =a

Students = s= 2a

Children = c

c+s+a = 177 (1)

2c+3s+4a=522 (2)

Substitute s=2a into the equations

c + 2a + a = 177

c + 3a = 177 (3)

2c + 3(2a) + 4a = 522

2c + 6a + 4a = 522

2c + 10a = 522 (4)

c + 3a = 177 (3)

2c + 10a = 522 (4)

Multiply (3) by 2

2c + 6a = 354 (3b)

2c + 10a = 522

Subtract (3b) from (4)

10a - 6a = 522 - 354

4a = 168

Divide both sides by 4

a= 168/4

= 42

a= 42

s= 2a

= 2(42)

= 84

s= 84

Substitute the value of s and a into (1)

c+s+a = 177 (1)

c + 84 + 42 = 177

c + 126 = 177

c = 177 - 126

= 51

c=51

Children = 51

Adults = 42

Students= 84

For what values of x is x2-36=5x true?<br> 0 -9 and 4<br> 04 and 9<br> 4 and -9<br> 09 and 4
ipn [44]

Answer:

x = - 4 and x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 36 = 5x ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x² - 5x - 36 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 36) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 5)

The factors are - 9 and + 4, since

- 9 × 4 = - 36 and - 9 + 4 = - 5, thus

(x - 9)(x + 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Equation M: y = 3x + 4
solmaris [256]
Y = 3x + 4
y = 3x + 7

3x + 4 = 3x + 7
3x - 3x = 7 - 4
0 = 3.....incorrect....this system has no solutions because ur lines are parallel and they never cross.

or look at it this way..
y = 3x + 4
y = 3x + 7

both have slopes of 3...but the y intercepts are different......when this happens, it means the lines are parallel with no solution
