Answer:
144 children and 170 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
make 2 equations
make :
the children as the regarded as the variable : x
the adults are the regarded as the variable : y
<em>5x + 6 y = 1740</em>
<em>x + y = 314</em>
<h3><u>solve this by the method of elimination </u></h3>
5x + 6y = 1740
5(x + y = 314)
= 5x + 5y = 1570
5x + 6y = 1740
5x + 5y = 1570
the 5x is cancelled out
6y - 5y = 1740 - 1570
y = 170
now replace the value of y in the eqaution
5x + 6 (170) = 1740
5x =720
x = 144
hence they were 144 children and 170 adults

Let x represent the number of shirts. Let y represent the number of pens.
If shirts are on sale for $11.99 each, then x shirts cost $11.99x.
If pants are on sale for $12.99 each, then y pants cost $12.99y.
The total cost is $(11.99x+12.99y).
Sarah can spend up to $65. Then an inequality that represents this situation is
11.99x+12.99y≤65 (this inequality holds when Sarah can spend $65 too)
or
11.99x+12.99y<65 (this inequality holds when Sarah can spend less than $65).
It is 2500 use a calculator
5 - 8x < 2x + 3
5 - 8x < 2x + 3
<u>-3 - 3 </u> Step 1.
2 - 8x < 2x
<u> +8x +8x </u> Step 2. Missing step
2 < 10x
<u>÷10 ÷10</u> Step 3.
<u>2/10 < x</u>
<u>1/5 < x
The missing step is add 8x to both sides of the inequality.</u>
