Answer: x=7.7, y=40
3/x = 15/38.5
38.5*3=115.5
115.5/15= 7.7
x=7.7
3/8 = 15/y
15*8=120
120/3= 40
y=40
orrrr you can just easily find the scale factor which is 5, multiply 8 by 5 and get 40. And 38.5/5 which is 7.7
Answer: x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Took the assignment
X=number of adults, y= number of students
x+y=12
18x+12y=162
You can simplify the second equation by dividing by six: 3x+2y=27
Rearrange the first equation: y= 12-x. Plug y into the simplified second equation:
3x+2(12-x)=27
3x-2x+24=27
x=3.
Plug the now known x value into y=12-x. So y= 9.
Therefore, there are 3 adults and 9 students.
