Answer:
Ms. Montesinos has 5 fish in her tank
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let y = the amount of fish Ms. Montesinos
b) 3y-2=13
c)
3y-2+=13+2
3y/3=15/3
y=5
(6x^2+5x+1)/(3x^2+4x+1)
= (3x+1)(2x+1)/(3x+1)(x+1)
= (2x+1)/(x+1)
Answer:
okay so im not sure which is being round so i'll do both
if you are going to round the miles and gallons:
278.2 to 278 because the decimal is below 0.5
19.6 to 20 because the decimal is above 0.5
278/20 = 13.9 which you would round to 14 because the decimal is above 0.5
if you are only going to round the answer:
278.2/19.6 = 14.193877551 which you would round to 14 because the decimal is below 0.5
so regardless of what you do, <u> your answer will be 14</u>
Answer:
C) 24 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the number of adults and C be the number of children.
If a ticket costs $8 per adult, we can express this as 8A
If a ticket costs $5 per child, we can express this as 5C
Combining the two expressions, we can write 8A+5C=272 as our first equation since the total amount of money collected is $272.
Our second equation would be A+C=40 since there are 40 people.
Now, we can take the second equation and write it as C=40-A so we can substitute the value of C into the first equation as 40-A so we only have to deal with one variable, the amount of adults that went to the theater.
The first equation now becomes 8A+5(40-A)=272 and is much easier to solve:
8A+5(40-A)=272
8A+200-5A=272
3A+200=272
3A=72
A=24
Therefore, there are 24 adults
