Answer:

We set up 2 equations

A) C + A = 100

B) 5C + 12A = 780

We multiply A by -5

A) -5C -5A = -500   then we add B

B) 5C + 12A = 780

7A = 280

Number of Adults = 40

5C = 780 - 40*12

5C = 780 -480

5C = 300

Number of Children = 60

y = - \frac{4}{3} x - 3

the equation of a line in ' slope intercept form ' is

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c the y-intercept

here m = - \frac{4}{3} and c = - 3

thus y = -  \frac{4}{3}  x - 3 is the slope- intercept equation

Write the equation 6x − 3y = −12 in the form y = mx + b.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Solve for the variable y (move the x to the right of equal with changed sign)

M is the coefficient before the x and b is the known number

-3y = -12 - 6x

Since the y can't be negative, multiply every term for -1, therefore change their sign

3y = 6x + 12

To find y, divide both terms for 3

\frac{3}{3}y =  \frac{6x+12}{3}

y = 2x+4

Therefore your answer is y = 2x+4

Literal equations, please help! this one is confusing to me.
sertanlavr [38]
What is asked here is that you isolate y so that the equation takes the form of y = ..., where ... will be something that contains a, b and c but not y. So how do we get there? By applying some standard permutations to equations like so:

aby - b = c

First, we bring the -b term to the right hand side by adding b left and right:

aby -b+b = c+b

The -b and +b cancel out, so we get:

aby = c + b

Then, we divide left and right hand side by ab:

aby/ab = (c+b)/ab

Again, the ab/ab on the left cancels out (it is 1), so we get:

y = (c+b)/ab

And we're done!

So you have to know that it is allowed to add or subtract something (anything) to/from the left and right hand side of an equation. Likewise, you have to know that it is allowed to multiply or divide by something, as long as it isn't 0.
