Using the distributive property an equivalent expression would be 9z-54
Answer:
Number of children, x= 400
Number of adults, y = 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of children be x
Let the number of adults be y
Given : Total number of people, x + y = 500 --------(1)
Total amount collected, 5x + 10y = 3000 ---------(2)
(1) => y = 500 - x
Substitute y in (2) : 5x + 10(500 - x) = 3000
5x + 5000 - 10x = 3000
-5x = 3000 - 5000
-5x = -2000
x = 400
Substitute x in (1) : 400 + y = 500
y = 500 - 400
y = 100
2|3x + 5| = -10 . Divide both sides by 2:
|3x + 5| = -5 ===>3x+5=-5 & -3x-5=-5 In both cases x=0
6/100+11/100+19/100= 36/100. 36/100 in simplest form is 9/25
