In equation, let x be the number of male students
a be the number of adults
y be the number of female students.
x= 7a+1
a= x/7 -1
y= x/2 or (7a + 1)/ 2

a + b = 82, let b be the number of students.
a + (x + y) = 82
a + [7a+1 + (7a+1)/2] = 82
a + [{2(7a+1) + 7a+1} / 2] = 82
a + [(14a +2 + 7a +1) / 2] = 82
a + [(21a + 3) / 2] = 82
(2a+ 21a + 3) / 2 = 82
(23a + 3) / 2 = 82
23a + 3 = 164
23a = 164 -3 
23a = 161
a = 7

x = 7(7) +1, 49+1 = 50 male students
y=x/2, 50/2, 25 female students

50(male students) + 25(female students)  + 7 (adults) = 82

Help me with any of these please
kumpel [21]
K, so here we go:
1. 3/4 + 3/4. When adding fractions, you only add the numerator or whole numbers (doesn't have a whole number, but the numerator's are the top numbers) NOT the denominator (bottom number) Add 3+3, and this gives you 6. Keep the 4 the same, and you get 6/4. The answer is 6/4, but you can make this a proper fraction, and say it's 1 and 2/4 (one is the whole number, it's like the 4 in number 3)

2. 2- 1 and 1/8. This is just subtraction, subtract the whole numbers first. 2-1=1. now, assume the 2 is 2 and 0/8, and you just took away 1. Now, it's 1 and 0/8. Now, take away another 1/8 and you get 7/8

3. Just division. The Answer is 3/2, or 1 and 1/2

4. Simple division again. Divide 15 by 3. You get 5. This is 1/3 of 15, because 5*3=15.

5. An 8 sided polygon is known as an octagon. 

6. A=B*H (Area= base times height.)

7. A quarter is 4. It takes 4 quarter pounds to make a pound (think like money. a quarter is 25 cents. it takes 4 quarters to make a dollar. If you want 60 dollars, how many quarters would you need?) Well, take 60*4, and you get 240. You can make 240 quarter pounders from 60 pounds of meat.
___________________________________________________________
 TO CLARIFY:
1= 6/4 OR 1 and 2/4
2= 7/8
3=3/2 OR 1 and 1/2
4=5
5=Octagon. 
6: A=B*H
7. 240 quarter pounders

olga nikolaevna [1]
I believe this is a problem dealing with proportions, so you could cross multiply and divide. so you would do 8/270 then x/72.5 , you cross multiply 72.5x8 which equals 580. then you divide that answer by 100 which equals 5.8 (:
