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

Find the surface area of the figure.<br> PLEASE HELP!
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The total surface area is: 468 in^2  which agrees with answer a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The three lateral faces of the prism are rectangles, and the sums of their areas give:

12 * 10 + 9 * 10 + 15 * 10 = 360 in^2

The area of each triangular base (notice it is a right triangle) is given by:

9 * 12 / 2 = 54 in^2, so we add TWO of these to the three rectangular faces:

Total surface = 360 in^2 + 2 * 54 in^2 = 468 in^2

Using the segment addition postulate, which is true? What is the measure of AngleDCF? Three lines extend from point C. The space
Flura [38]

Answer:

129

Step-by-step explanation:

If three lines CD, CE and CF extend from point C, then the following addition postulate is true;

<DCE + <ECF = <DCF

If the space between line C D and C E is 75 degrees, then <DCE =  75

If the space between lines C E and C F is 54, then <ECF = 54.

Substitute the given values into the expression above will  give;

<DCF =<DCE + <ECF

<DCF  = 75+54

<DCF  = 129

Hence the measure of <DCF  is 129°

PLEASE HELP!! What is the slope of the line on the graph?
sammy [17]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is the difference of the y values divided by the difference of x values. Choose to points. I chose (-2,-1) and (0,3). 3-(-1) is equal to 4. 0-(-2) is equal to 2. 4 divided by 2 is two.
