Answer:

  more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

  (3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

  (7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

  24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

  1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

  532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

  In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

  In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

Answer: 7.3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to solve the question, we have to solve 5.2x+8+2.1x-3 and the answer gotten will allow us know the equivalent expression.

= 5.2x+8+2.1x-3

= 5.2x + 2.1x + 8 - 3

= 7.3x + 5

Therefore, the correct answer is 7.3x + 5

Write an equation of the line that passes through a pair of points (-5, -2), (4, 5)
PIT_PIT [208]
To find the equation of a line knowing two points it passes through, we must first find the slope and then substitute the x and y values to figure out the y intercept. 

First thing is to find the slope using the formula m = Δy ÷ Δx
m = 5 - (-2) ÷ 4 - (-5)

Now we simplify 
m = 7 ÷ 9 

Our equation so far is y = 7/9x + b. Now we can substitute the values of x and y from a point to figure out the answer. The equation here uses the point (4,5)

5 = 7/9 · 4 + b

Get b on one side
5 - 28/9 = b

Simplify
b = 1 + 8/9

That makes the equation of the line y = 7/9x + (1 + 8/9)
