Answer:

The number of adults is 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of children

y------> the number of adults

we know that

x+y=1800 -------> equation A

2x+4y=6000 -------> equation B

Multiply equation A by -2

-2(x+y)=-2*1800 --------> -2x-2y=-3600 ------> equation C

Adds equation B and equation C

2x+4y=6000\\-2x-2y=-3600\\---------\\4y-2y=6000-3600\\2y=2400\\y=2400/2\\y=1200

x= adult, y = kid

x+y=1800

4x+2y=6000

x=1800-y now put that into the 2nd equation

4(1800-y)+2y=6000

7200-4y+2y=6000

4y-2y=7200-6000

2y=1200

y=600

x=1800-600 = 1200

 so 1200 adults and 600 kids

Factor mn - 4m - 5n + 20
anastassius [24]
Mn - 4m - 5n + 20

In this, mn and -4m have a common factor; m. So we can take that out to make it:

m(n-4) -5n + 20

Now, -5n + 20 also has a common factor which is 5, because 20/5 gives you 4, and 5/5 equals 1. So we can talk out that -5 (it doesn't need to be negative, but negatives on variable, no gusta). So you'd get

m(n-4)-5(n-4)      OR m(n-4)+5(-n+4)

Determine if the following side lengths can create a triangle:<br> 5, 7, 13<br> A. Yes<br> B. No
Paul [167]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for three sides to make a triangle, if any two sides are added together, their sum should be greater than the third side:

=><u> 5 + 7 = 12 < 13 (DOES NOT check off the rule)</u>

=> 7 + 13 = 20 > 5 (Checks off the rule)

=> 5 + 13 = 18 > 7 (Checks off the rule)

As shown, even though 2 of the statements check off the rule the third one does not, this means that the sides don't make a triangle.

Hope this helps!
