Answer:
3 tents hold 2 campers
Step-by-step explanation:
The given relations can be expressed as a single equation in the number of 2-camper tents.
__
Let x represent the number of 2-camper tents. Then the number of 4-camper tents is 6-x, and the total number of campers in tents is ...
2x +4(6 -x) = 18
-2x +24 = 18
-2x = -6 . . . . . . subtract 24
x = 3 . . . . . . . divide by -2
Exactly 3 tents hold 2 campers.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The other 3 tents hold 4 campers.
Another way to consider this is to assume that all tents hold 2 campers, and then realize there are 18 -6×2 = 6 campers left over. If these are placed 2 per tent, then there will be 6/2 = 3 tents with 4 campers. The remaining 3 tents will have 2 campers.
Answer:
Yes. any repeating decimal is rational.
Answer:
Grapes=19.51
Step-by-step explanation:
Apples=$2.19 per pound
Grapes=$2.60 per pound
Apples+Grapes=20 pounds
A+G=20
A=20-G
Equation is
PaA+PgG=35.80
2.19A+2.60G=35.80
2.19(20-G)+2.60G=35.80
43.8-2.19G+2.60G=35.80
43.8-0.41G=35.80
-0.41G=35.80-43.8
-0.41G=-8
Divide both sides by 0.41
G=19.51 pounds
Recall
A=20-G
A=20-19.51
A=0.49 pounds
