Answer:

one quarter of the total number of students will be those who failed their exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three - fourths = those who passed the exam

one quarter will be those who failed their exam

From the total number of the students.

Let's make an example

40 students who take the exam.

3 over 4 students from the total number of 40 take the exam and the result is passed and it mean 30 students passed in the exam.

1 over 4 students take the exam and the result is failed and it mean 10 students failed in the exam.

4 minus 3 over 4 will get the answer 1 over 4.

Use 1 over 4 to multiple with the total number of the students and that how you will get the answer for those who failed in their exam.

Solve the quadratic equations

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

for quadratic equation 1

y^2-10y+21=0

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2-7y-3y+21=0

y(y-7)-3(y-7)=0

(y-7)(y-3)=0

y-7=0,y-3=0

y=7,y=3

y=(3,7)

for quadratic equation 2

16p^2-8p+1=0

16p^2-4p-4p+1=0

4p(4p-1)-1(4p-1)=0

(4p-1)twice=0

4p-1=0,4p-1=0

4p=1

p=1/4 twice

for quadratic equation 3

x^2-400=0

x^2=400

x=√400

x=20

for quadratic equation 4

-16m^2-8m-1=0

multiply the equation by -

16m^2+8m+1=0

16m^2+4m+4m+1=0

4m(4m+1)1(4m+1)=0

4m+1=0 twice

m=-1/4 twice

for quadratic equation 5

-3n^2+75=0

divide both side by -3

-3n^2/-3=-75/-3

n^2=25

n=√25

n=5

Please help explanation if possible

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

612 adults

361 students

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, set two equations:

Let x be number of adults and y be number of students.

As there are in total 937 people, the equation would be the sum of both adults and children:

$x+y=937$

$x=937-y$ ...... ( 1 )

As the total sale amount is $1109, the equation would be to add up the ticket fee:

$2x+0.75y=1,109$ ...... ( 2 )

Put ( 1 ) into ( 2 ):

$2(937-y)+0.75y=1,109$

$1874-2y+0.75y=1,109$

$-1.25y=-765$

$y=763/1.25$

$y=612$

Put y into ( 1 ):

$x=973-612$

$x=361$

Therefore there are 612 adults and 361 students.
