Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of adults = a

Number of children = c

Total people  = 430

a + c = 430 --------------(I)

Total amount =$890

3a + c =890 -----------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by (-1)

(I)*(-1)    -a - c = -430

(II)         <u>3a + c = 890</u>    {Now add and thus c will be eliminated}

           2a        = 460

a = 460/2

a= 230

Plug in the value of a in equation (I)

230 + c = 430

c = 430 - 230

c = 200

Number of adults = 230

Number of children = 200

Can you fine the cube root of a negative number? If so, is it positive or negative? Explain your answer.
Nata [24]

Answer:

Yes, you can find the cube root of a negative number. The answer will be negative!

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: Find the cube root of -27

We know that a cube root is a number multiplied by itself 3 times (NOT MEANING THE NUMBER TIMES 3)

For example, The cube root of 27 positive is 3 because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

But if we are using a negative number: It is really different because we got to know the rules.

The setup: -3 x -3 x -3 = -27

If we started with -3 x -3 first we know that a negative times a negative equals positive so the answer will be 9 positive, then we have this equation left:

9 x -3 = -27

The rule with this is a number times a negative is negative, so the answer of the question "Find the cube root of -27 is -3"
