Answer:

  6 children

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the group were adults, the total cost of tickets would be 8×$10 = $80. The actual cost was $80 -62 = $18 less than that. Since each children's ticket saves $3 off the cost of an adult ticket, there were $18/$3 = 6 children's tickets.

There were 6 children in the group.

_____

If you want an equation, you can let c represent the number of children. Then the cost of tickets is ...

  8(10 -c) +5c = 62 . . . . 10-c is the number of adults

  -3c = -18 . . . . . . . subtract 80

  c = -18/-3 = 6 . . . divide by 3

26.   2x^2 +4x -10 = 0       (-4 + - (root(4^2 - 4*2*-10)))/2*2   =  
(-4 + - (root(96)))/4
(-4 + (root(96)))/4  ≈  1.45
(-4 -  (root(96)))/4  ≈  -3.45

27. f(x) = 0 when any of the components that multiply together equal 0 for this function therefore   x -2 = 0    x +3 = 0    x -5 = 0   so   f(x) = 0 when x = 2, -3 or 5

Given that p is an integer, q = -12 and the quotient of p/q is -3, find p
sergejj [24]
I think it’s p=36 because you have to do the opposite on both sides..

So..
q=-12
P/-12=-3
+12 *12
P=36
