Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(52)=-3(x)+-3(2)

Divide both sides by -3

52 = x + 2

x = 50

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults. On a certain day 333 people enter the park, the

liberstina [14]

Answer:

188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The admission fee at an amusement park is $1.50 for children and $4 for adults.

Total $862 collected on a certain day when 333 people enter the park.

Now, to find the children and adults admitted in the park.

Let the number of children admitted be $x.$

And the the number of adults admitted be $y.$

So, the total people enter the park:

$x+y=333\\\\x=333-y\ \ \ ...(1)$

Thus, the total amount collected of the admission fee:

$1.50(x)+4(y)=862\\\\$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1):

$1.50(333-y)+4(y)=862\\\\499.50-1.50y+4y=862\\\\499.50+2.50y=862\\\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 499.50\ we\ get:\\\\2.50y=362.50\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2.50\ we\ get:\\\\y=145.$

Thus, the number of adults = 145.

Now, to get the number of children by substituting the value of $y$ in equation (1) we get:

$x=333-y\\\\x=333-145\\\\x=188.$

Hence, the number of children = 188.

Therefore, 188 children and 145 adults were admitted in the park.

This is a System Of Equations and I'd like it to get solved by the Elimination or Substitution Method.x+2y=83x+5y=8

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

x=133 y=-25

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do both ways for you. So let's start with Substitution:

With the sub method, you have to set both equations equal to each other by setting them equal to the same variable. Since there is no coefficient in front of both x's in both equations, that variable will be easiest to solve for.

x + 2y = 83 & x + 5y = 8

Solve for x.

x = 83 - 2y & x = 8 - 5y

Once you have solved for x, set each equation equal to one another and solve for y now.

83 - 2y = 8 - 5y

Isolate all variables to one side:

83 = 8 - 3y

Now subtract the 8 to fully isolate the y variable:

75 = -3y

Divide by -3:

-25 = y Now that you have your first variable, plug it into one of the original equations and solve for x.

x + 2(-25) = 83

x - 50 = 83

x = 133

Now for the Elimination method. For this method you need to get rid of a variable by either subtracting/adding each equation together. Again, since you can subtract and x from both equations, you will be left with only the y variable to solve:

Put each equation on top of one another and subtract:

x + 2y = 83

- (x + 5y = 8)

The x's will cancel out:

(x - x) + (2y - 5y) = (83 - 8)

Simplify:

-3y = 75

Solve for y

y = -25

Then, plug y = -25 into one of the original equations:

x + 5(-25) = 8

Solve for x:

x - 125 = 8

x = 133

Hope this helps!

What the solution 2(4+2x)≥5x+5

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4+2x) ≥ 5x+5 (by PEDMAS, expand parentheses first)

4(2) + 2x(2) ≥ 5x + 5

8 + 4x ≥ 5x + 5 (subtract 8 from each side)

4x ≥ 5x + 5 - 8

4x ≥ 5x - 3 (subtract 5x from both sides)

4x -5x ≥ - 3

-x ≥ - 3 (multiply both sides by -1, remember to flip the inequality when multiplying both sides by a negative number)

x ≤ 3
