Set up the equation of two ratios:
3 racks 36 racks
----------- = --------------
15 min x
Solve this for x: 3x =540; x = 180 minutes, or 3 hours
<span>The answer to this question would be: A. the number of adults
</span>
In this question, there are 4 times as many students as adults going on the trip. If we put it into a function where s= student and a=adult, then we could get one equation:<span>
1. s=4a
</span><span>
Each student ticket cost $2 and each adult ticket cost $4. The total cost of the trip is $144. We also can get one equation for this
2. 2s+ 4a= 144
If you put the first equation into the second, you will get:
</span>2s+4a= 144
2(4a)+4a= 144
The function is already similar with <span>2(4x)+4x but it uses a instead of x. Then x = a = number of adult</span>
I would go with -15 that’s what I came up with
H=3t+10 and h=-16t+15t+6
They will never be at the same height at the same time
OK. I did it, and I have the solution.
_____________________________________
The length of the deck is (5 + 2x) .
The width of the deck is (4 + 2x) .
If the deck didn't have that big hole in the middle where the pool is,
then its area would be
(5 + 2x) · (4 + 2x) .
When you multiply that all out, you get Area = 4x² + 18x + 20
and the question tells us that the area of the whole big rectangle is 90 yds² .
So we can write
4x² + 18x + 20 = 90 .
Subtract 90 from each side: 4x² + 18x - 70 = 0
Divide each side by 2 : 2x² + 9x - 35 = 0
You can use the quadratic equation to solve that and find out that
x = 2.5 yards, and that's what the question is asking you.
___________________________________________________
That makes the deck 10 yds high and 9 yds wide.
Total area of the whole big rectangle, (deck + pool ), = 90 yds².
