Answer:
Number of children = 386
Number of adults = 287
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of children
y = number of adults
x + y = 673 (1)
1.75x + 2y = 1249.50 (2)
From (1)
x = 673 - y
Substitute x = 673 - y into (2)
1.75x + 2y = 1249.50
1.75(673 - y) + 2y = 1249.50
1177.75 - 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50
- 1.75y + 2y = 1249.50 - 1177.75
0.25y = 71.75
y = 71.75/0.25
y = 287
Substitute y = 287 into (1)
x + y = 673
x + 287 = 673
x = 673 - 287
x = 386
Number of children = 386
Number of adults = 287
Answer:
y+8=-2(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point.
We are given all of that information:
slope: -2
point: (4,-8)
substitute the numbers into the equation
y--8=-2(x-4)
we can make --8 to positive 8
so:
y+8=-2(x-4)
this is the equation in point-slope form
Hope this helps!
