Answer:
a = 24*1/3
a =8
Step-by-step explanation:
We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults
students 3 24
--------------- = --------------- = -------------
adults 1 a
where a is the unknown number of adults
Using cross products
3a=24*1
Divide by 3
a = 24*1/3
a = 24/3
a = 8
Sum of polynomials are always polynomials.
Note that despite it's name, single constants, monomials, binomials, trinomials, and expressions with more than three terms are all polynomials.
For example,
0, π sqrt(2)x, 4x+2, x^2+3x+4, x^2-x^2, x^5+x/ π -1
are all polynomials.
What makes an expression NOT a polynomial?
Expressions that contain non-integer or negative powers of variables, rational functions, infinite series.
For example,
sqrt(x+1), 1/x+4, 1+x+ x^2/2!+x^3/3!+x^4/4!+...., (5x+3)/(6x+7)
are NOT polynomials.
I’m not sure blocked from what
B - 7x = a - b
Subtract b from both sides.
-7x = a - 2b
Divide both sides by -7.
x =
