Answer:
31 children and 290 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of adults and c = number of children.
a + c = 321
2a + 1.75c = 634.25
Multiply both sides of the the first equation by -2 and add it to the second equation.
-2a - 2c = -642
(+) 2a + 1.75c = 634.25
--------------------------------------
-0.25c = -7.75
Divide both sides by -0.25
c = 31
Use the first equation to find a.
a + c = 321
Substitute 31 for c.
a + 31 = 321
Subtract 31 from both sides.
a = 290
Answer: 31 children and 290 adults
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:5 pounds
35/13.3=2.63. 1.9x2.63=5kg
In the ordered pair (2, 12), x = 2 and y = 12.
Substitute these values into each inequality to see if the resulting inequality is true.
y > 2x + 4
12 > 2(2) + 4 Twelve is greater than 2 times 2 plus 4 ...hmmm
12 > 4 + 4
12 > 8 Twelve is greater than 8 ....this is TRUE...go to the next inequality
y < 3x + 7
12 < 3(2) + 7 Twelve is less than 3 times 2 plus 7 ...interesting
12 < 6 + 7
12 < 13 Twelve is less than 13 ... this is TRUE also
Therefore; the answer is b. Yes
It must create a true inequality for BOTH inequalities in order for the ordered pair to be a solution
X + y = 136
x = 3y - 16
3y - 16 + y = 136
4y - 16 = 136
4y = 136 + 16
4y = 152
y = 152/4
y = 38
x = 3y - 16
x = 3(38) - 16
x = 114 - 16
x = 98
the larger piece (x) = 98 ft and the smaller piece (y) = 38 ft
