Answer:

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Short races = a

Long races = b

LAST YEAR:

7a + 8b = 804 - - - - (1)

THIS YEAR:

11a + 5b = 688 - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 8

35a + 40b = 4020

88a + 40b = 5504

Subtract

-53a = - 1484

a = 1484 / 53

a = 28

Put a = 28 in equation (1)

7(28) + 8b = 804

196 + 8b = 804

8b = 804 - 196

8b = 608

b = 76

28 short race volunteers

76 long race volunteers

What is x, the distance between points A and A'? 2. 4 units 4. 8 units 13. 6 units 14. 4 units.
adelina 88 [10]

The distance between points A (3, -5) and A' (2, -3) is 2.4 units.

Given that,

The points A (3, -5) and A' (2, -3).

We have to determine,

The distance between point A and A'.

According  to the question,

The distance between two points is determined by using the distance formula.

\rm Distance \ formula = \sqrt{(x_2-x_2) ^2+ (y_2-y_2)^2

Then,

The distance between points A (3, -5) and A' (2, -3) is,

\rm Distance  = \sqrt{(2-3) ^2+ ((-3)-(-5))^2}\\\\ Distance  = \sqrt{(-1) ^2+ (2)^2}\\\\ Distance  = \sqrt{1+4}\\\\Distance = \sqrt{5}\\\\Distance = 2.4 \ units

Hence, The distance between points A (3, -5) and A' (2, -3) is 2.4 units.
