Answer:
1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
adults = x
male = 7x + 1
female = (7x + 1)/2
total number of people = 82
x + (7x + 1) + [(7x +1)/2] = 82
2x/2 + (14x + 2)/2 + (7x + 1)/2 = 82
2x + 14x + 2 + 7x + 1 = 82 * 2
23x + 3 = 164
23x = 164 - 3
23x = 161
x = 161/23
x = 7
adults = x = 7
males = 7x + 1 = 7(7) + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50
females = (7x+1)/2 = 50/2 = 25
7 + 50 + 25 = 82
4*2=8, 4-2=2, 2*9=18, 18+8= 26
26 is the answer
Answer: Upper left corner
Explanation:
The error happens in step 2. Notice that x is <u>not</u> part of the second term 16, so there's no way to factor x from it unless you want a fraction to result.
The second step should be 8(4x-2)
Another way to factor is to say 16(2x-1)
