Answer: 275 adults and 130 children

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the value of one variable by rearranging a equation:

$a+c=405\\c=405-a$

Substitute it into the other equation and solve for a:

$12a+5c=3950\\12a+5(405-a)=3950\\12a+2025-5a=3950\\12a-5a=3950-2025\\7a=1925\\a=\frac{1925}{7} =275$

Use the a-value to find b by substituting it into the rearranged equation:

$c=405-a=405-275=130$

Therefore, the answer would be:

$\left \{ {{a=275} \atop {c=130}} \right.$

The difference of the squares of two positive consecutive even integers is 7676. find the integers. use the fact that, if x rep

myrzilka [38]

Equation is (x+2)^2 - x^2 = 7676
solve the equation by first opening the bracket of (x+2)^2 by A^2 + 2AB +C^2

you'll end up with 4x + 4 = 7672
thus x = 1918 and the next number is 1920.
