Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 5) = 10

You would first multiply 2 by x and 5

2x-10 = 10

then you would add ten to both sides

2= 20

then you would divide 2 by 20

x=10

Max is scuba diving at elevation of -64.5 feet, when friend signals to come higher. Max makes 2 ascents, each an equal distance
KengaRu [80]

Answer: - 42.95 feet

Explanation:

Let each ascent be x. Thus,

2 equal ascents = 2x

From the information given,

initial position = - 64.5 feet

Final position after 2 ascents = - 21.4 feet

This means that

- 64.5 + 2x = - 21.4

2x = - 21.4 + 64.5

2x = 43.1

x = 43.1/2

x = 21.55

Thus, Max's elevation after the first ascent is

- 64.5 + 21.55

= - 42.95 feet

The admission at the movies is $5 for children and $10 for adults. The total amount collected was
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Number of children, x= 400

Number of adults, y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children be x

Let the number of  adults be y

Given : Total number of people,  x + y = 500  --------(1)

           Total amount collected, 5x + 10y = 3000  ---------(2)

(1) => y = 500 - x

Substitute y in (2) : 5x + 10(500 - x) = 3000

                             5x + 5000 - 10x = 3000

                                -5x = 3000 - 5000

                                 -5x = -2000

                                    x = 400

Substitute x in (1) : 400 + y = 500

                                      y = 500 - 400

                                      y = 100
