Answer: number of adults = 3, number of children = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of adults be x, and the number of children be y.
x + y = 8 , 15x + 8y = 85
1st equation x 8 = 8x + 8y = 64

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Strength [is proportional to] d^2
strength1/(d1)^2 = strength2/(d2)^2
800kg/(2cm)^2 = strength2/(3cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * (3 cm)^2/(2 cm)^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 3^2/2^2
strength2 = 800 kg * 9/4
strength2 = 1800 kg
