1/6 is the simplest form for the fraction 5/30.
Answer:
There are 6 adults. <em>My mistake! I had the wrong equation. 3 + 9a = 57.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
- <u>There is only 1 child in the group.</u>
- Cost for children is 3$.
- <u>The cost for adults is 9$.</u>
- 9 * 6 = 54
- 3 * 1 = 3
- 3 + 9a = 57
- Simplify:
- 6 Adults.
30b + 100u = 900
5b + 25u = 200....multiply by -6
------------------
30b + 100u = 900
-30b - 150u = - 1200 (result of multiplying by -6)
------------------add
-50u = - 300
u = 6 <== upgrated phones sold
30b + 100u = 900
30b + 100(6) = 900
30b + 600 = 900
30b = 900 - 600
30b = 300
b = 10 <== basic phones sold
Find the greatest common factor (GCF)
in this case it would be 9
divide each term by the GCF
36 / 9 = 4
9y / 9 = y
put the two "new" terms in parenthesis and the GCF in front of it
9 (4 + y)
it could also be 9 (y + 4) because of Commutative Property of Addition
