The lines on the triangles
The answer is b because 6/7 = 48/56 and 7/8=49/56

A=10, B=11, C=12, etc.


Now, the "only" thing that remains to do is solving the above equation.
While making this problem I only made sure it has a solution. I didn't try to solve it myself and I didn't know it will end up with such "convoluted" polynomial. Sorry to everyone who tried to solve it... m(_ _)m
I think the best way to approach it is using the rational root theorem since we know that
. Moreover we can deduce that
since there is
and
.
After you succesfully solve it, you should get the answer
.
Answer:
72 alligators, 128 turtles
Step-by-step explanation:
When you put the words into the form of an equation, with a being alligators, you get
3a-16=200
So you have to do 'letters left numbers right'. This gives you
3a=216
Now you have to divide. 216 divided by 3 equals 72. So there are 72 alligators. 200 minus 72 equals 128, so there are 128 turtles
Let c = cost, s the number of students
Then;
C=50+4.5s
For the 24 students;
C=50+4.5(24)
C=50+108
C=158
