-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected 
6x + 2y = 618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165          ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618      ------------------------- (eqn 2)

(eqn 1) : 
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 2)

6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 1)

x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72 

x = 72 and y = 93

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children

Answer:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1|165\\ 6 & 2|618\end{bmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of 165 people attended the opening night of a school play.

Let there were adults = x  and number of children = y

So x + y = 165 ----------(1)

Now we know adults were charged $6 and children $2.

The total amount collected $618

so  6x + 2y = 618 ----------(2)

Now the augmented matrix for the system of equations will be \begin{bmatrix}1 & 1|165\\ 6 & 2|618\end{bmatrix}

What group of numbers does -2 belong to?
Marizza181 [45]
Answer: Integers and Rational Numbers

Explanation: -2 is an integer because integers include positive an negative numbers. It would not be a whole number or a Naural number because both of those sets only include positive numbers. Here’s a better explanation:

Natural numbers: Natural Numbers are like (1,2,3....). They only include positive numbers. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this category.

Whole Numbers: Whole Numbers are like (0,1,2,3....). They include all the natural numbers with 0. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this set.

Integers: Integers include both positive and negative numbers. They are like (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3....). Since they both have positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

Rational Numbers: Rational Numbers include ALL the sets that were described. (Natural, Whole, Integer). Since this set also includes positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.

So, -2 belongs in Integers and Rational Numbers

Hope this helps!

Find the slope-intercept form of the lines with the following properties.
Vikentia [17]

Hello!

If you want to find an equation that is parallel to another equation, and passing through the point (1, 4), you need to create a new equation with the same slope, you need to substitute the given point into the new equation to find the y-intercept.

m = 3, y = 3x + b (substitute the ordered pair)

4 = 3(1) + b (simplify)

4 = 3 + b (subtract 3 from both sides)

b = 1

Therefore, the line parallel to the line y = 3x - 2 and passing through the point (1, 4) is y = 3x + 1.
