Answer:

21 children

Step-by-step explanation: 6.50x+8.75y=259

This equation came from the cost of the tickets for the children and adults.

x+y=35

This comes from the group of 35 people that consists of children and adults.

We can use substitution to solve for x and y.

x=35-y

6.50(35-y)+8.75y=259

227.5-6.50y+8.75y=259

227.5+2.25y=259

2.25y=31.5

y=14

Now that we have found y, we can plug it into any of the equations to find x.

x+14=35

x=21

Therefore, there are 21 children and 14 adults in the group.

#9 i need help it would really be appreciated
son4ous [18]
For number 9, you know that it makes 40 copies every five minutes. All you have to do is divide 40 by 5.

40 ÷ 5 = 8

It makes 8 copies every minute. 

Your chart can also help you check your answer. It says that it makes 96 copies every 12 minutes and it makes 104 copies every 13 minutes. So multiply 8 by 12 to check it and 8 by 13. 

8 • 12 = 96
8 • 13 = 104

Since those answers match up with the chart, it must be correct.

The photocopier makes 8 copies every minute. Hope that helps!
