Given:
adults = x
male = 7x + 1
female = (7x + 1)/2
total number of people = 82
x + (7x + 1) + [(7x +1)/2] = 82
2x/2 + (14x + 2)/2 + (7x + 1)/2 = 82
2x + 14x + 2 + 7x + 1 = 82 * 2
23x + 3 = 164
23x = 164 - 3
23x = 161
x = 161/23
x = 7
adults = x = 7
males = 7x + 1 = 7(7) + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50
females = (7x+1)/2 = 50/2 = 25
7 + 50 + 25 = 82
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting x=4 into the equation gives a 2-step linear equation in y. It is solved by isolating the variable and making its coefficient be 1.
__
<h3>use x=4</h3>
When x=4, the equation becomes ...
-3x +9y = -57
-3(4) +9y = -57
-12 +9y = -57
<h3>solve 2-step equation</h3>
The <u>first step</u> is to "isolate" the variable term (9y) by adding the opposite of the constant that is on the same side of the equation. The result is that the variable term is by itself on one side of the equal sign.
-12 +12 +9y = -57 +12 . . . . . add the opposite of -12
9y = -45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
The <u>second step</u> is to make the coefficient of y be 1. We do that by multiplying by its inverse, 1/9. Equivalently, we divide by 9.
(1/9)(9y) = (1/9)(-45) . . . . multiply by the inverse of 9
y = -5 . . . . . . simplify
The answer is: 56xy³

Explanation:
_______________________________
Find the "like terms"; which are:
_______________________________
"4y" and "2y<span>²"
_______________________________
The remaining term is: "7x".
_____________________________________
The problem is a "multiplication problem" :
___________________________________________
7x * 4y * </span>2y² ; so start by multiplying the "like terms" :
<span>___________________________________________
4y * 2y</span>² = 8y<span>³
____________________________________________
Then the remaining term is "7x";
so, multiply that by our obtained value: "</span>8y³ " :
_____________________________________________
7x * 8y³ = 56xy³ ; which is our answer:
