Hey there! :)

Answer:

118 children

58 students

59 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by setting up a system of equations:

Let a = adults

2a = children (since double the # of adults were children), and

s = students

Set up the equations:

1704 = 5(2a) + 7s + 12(a)

1704 = 10a + 7s + 12a

235 = 2a + a + s

Simplify the equations:

1704 = 22a + 7s

235 = 3a + s

Subtract the bottom equation from the top by multiplying the bottom equation by 7 to eliminate the 's' variable:

1704 = 22a + 7s

7(235 = 3a + s)

1704 = 22a + 7s

1645 = 21a + 7s

---------------------- (Subtract)

59 = a

This is the number of adults. Substitute this number into an equation to solve for the number of students:

235 = 3(59) + s

235 = 177 + s

s = 58.

Since the number of children is equivalent to 2a, solve:

2(59) = 118 children.

Therefore, the values for each group are:

118 children

59 adults

58 students.

Answer:

adults: 59, students:58 and children 118

Step-by-step explanation:

let A for adults, and C = children and S for students

There are half as many adults as there are children=

A=C/2 , C=2A

A+C+S=235 or

A+2A+S=235 first equation

3A+S=235

12A+5C+7S =1704 or

12A+10A+7S=1704

22A + 7S=1704 second equation

3A+S=235 first

solve by addition and elimination

22A+7S=1704

21 A+7S=1645 subtract two equations

A=59 adults

C=2A=2(59)=118

substitute in :A+S+C=235

S=235-(118+59)=58

check: 5C+7S+12A=1704

5(118)+7(58)+12(59)=1704

Help i only have a day. 5% of what number is 12? Round your answer to the nearest tenth place if necessary. (Use any method to s
maw [93]

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

So here’s the step by step (for the show your work thingy)

so we can write an equation

0.05x=12

We use 0.05 becuase 5 percent is basically 5/100 and the x is used becuase we don’t know what the number is and the =12 is for the number that came out as a final result

ow we can solve the equation

x=12/0/05

x=240

Final answer is 240

2. 7x^3+168

 - Degree: 3

- Number of terms: 2

3. 9x^4-9

- Degree: 4

- Number of terms: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember the multiplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

1. Given:

(4x + 2.2)(3x - 5)

Apply the Distributive property:

=12x^2+6.6x-20x-11

Add the like terms:

=12x^2-13.4x-11

You can idenfity that:

- Degree: 2

- Number of terms: 3

2. Given:

(-304 +503 - 12) + (7x^3 - 25 + 6)

=187 + 7x^3 - 25 + 6=7x^3+168

You can idenfity that:

- Degree: 3

- Number of terms: 2

3. Given:

(3x^2 - 3)(3x^2 + 3)

Apply Distributive property:

=9x^4-9x^2+9x^2-9

Add the like terms:

=9x^4-9

You can idenfity that:

- Degree: 4

- Number of terms: 2
