Answer:

Between 150 and 450

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to find the number by resolving  a system of linear equations.

First we write the system equations :

C+S+A=750

Where C : children, S : students and A : adults

The equation represents the ''full attendance''

The second equation :

3C+5S+7A=3450

This equation represents the totaled receipts.

The system :

C+S+A=750\\3C+5S+7A=3450

has the following associated matrix :

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&750\\3&5&7&3450\end{array}\right]

By performing elementary matrix operations we find that the matrix is equivalent to

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&-1&150\\0&1&2&600\\\end{array}\right]

The new system :

C-A=150\\S+2A=600

Working with the equations :

C = 150 + A\\S = 600-2A

Our solution vector is :

\left[\begin{array}{c}C&S&A\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}150+A&600-2A&A\end{array}\right]

For example :

If 0 adults attended ⇒ A = 0

C = 150 + 0 \\C = 150\\S = 600 - 2A\\S = 600

This verify the totaled receipts equation :

150($3)+600($5) = $ 3450

A ≥ 0 ⇒ If A = 0 ⇒ C = 150

C = 150 is the minimum children attendance

From the equation :

S = 600 -2A

S ≥0

600 - 2A ≥ 0

600 ≥ 2A

300≥ A

A is restricted to the interval [ 0, 300]

When A = 0 ⇒ C = 150

When A = 300 ⇒C = 150 + A = 150 + 300 = 450

Children ∈ [ 150,450]

With C being an integer number (including 0)

Also S and A are integer numbers (including 0)

-5x+13y=-7
5x+4y=24
add the equation to eliminate x:
13y+4y=-7+24
17y=17
solve for y:
17/17y=17/17
y=1
then plug in y into any equation to solve for x:
-5x+13y=-7, y=1
-5x+(13*1)=-7
-5x+13-13=-7-13
-5x=-20
-5/-5x=-20/-5
x=4 
the answers are x=4, y=1

A line goes through the points (1,8) and (9,12) what is the slope of the line? <br>Plz explain
Igoryamba

Answer:

2/3 or 0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = y2 - y1 /x2 - x1

Given

x1 = 1

y1 = 8

x2 = 9

y2 = 12

Slope = 12 - 8 /9 - 1

= 4/6

Reduce is by 2

2/3

Or

0.67

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 7​: 9 ​: 10. The perimeter of the triangle is 52 cm. What are t
Pavel [41]

Answer:

14 cm, 18 cm, 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 9x + 10x = 26x

equation: 26x = 52

divide each side by 26: x = 2

7 * 2 = 14

9 * 2 = 18

10 * 2 = 20

check if answer is right: 14 + 20 + 18 = 52

I hope this helped, please mark Brainliest thank you so much!!

So,  for a line that passes through the point (x,y) = (-3,5) ,

has the equation x= - 3.
