The distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
27 - 18r = 9·3 - 9·2r = 9(3 - 2r)
Answer:
<u>There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Men(M), Women(W) and Children(C)
We learn that:
M = 35
W = 1.5C , and
M+W+C = 65
----
M+W+C = 65
M+1.5C+C = 65
35+1.5C+C = 65
2.5C = 30
C = 12
If C=12 and W=1.5C, then W=18
----
<u>There are 35 Men, 12 Children, and 18 Women</u>
(35+12+18) = 65 participants
You don't have a question in there but I can tell you that the quadratic formula that is shown is not quite correct.
<span>x = -b ± √b2 - 4ac 2a
For one thing, the first 3 terms should ALL be divided by 2a
The square root symbol should be extended from b^2 through 4ac
The division symbol is missing.
So the quadratic formula SHOULD read:
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
Also I have attached a graphic of the quadratic formula.

If for is four then x-4=8
thus would make x 12
Just divide by 12 because they're are 12 inches in a foot. 240 ÷ 12 = 20
