Answer:

7.47 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the quadratic equation  the x coordinate of the vertex is

x = -b/(2a)

---------------------------

y = -16x² + 239x + 127

x = -239/ ( 2 * (-16) )

x = -239 / (-32)

x = 7.46875

Rounded

x = 7.47

HELP .-. A painter bought 16 gallons of paint, just to cover two rooms. One room is twice the size of the other room and require
givi [52]
The total number of gallons of paint needed for the big room is 3x and the number of gallons of paint needed for the small room is 2y. 
                                   3x + 2y = 16
Given the sizes of the room, the relation should be that,
                                    x = 2y
Solving the equation,
                                      3(2y) + 2y = 16
                                               y = 2
Therefore x is equal to 4 gallons. 
With the condition that only the bigger room is painted, the number of gallons of paint used should be 12 gallons and what is left should be 4 gallons.

But The aquarium charges $12 per ticket for adults and $5per ticket for children. A group of 90 children and adult chaperones vi
White raven [17]

Answer:

There were 76 childrens and 14 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the group has a total of 90 children and adults, then the sum of the number of adults with the number of children must be equal to 90 as shown below:

children + adults = 90

Since the total cost for their tickets was 548 then the number of children multiplied by the price of their ticket summed by the number of adults multiplied by the price of their ticket must be equal to that. We have:

5*children + 12*adults = 548

With these two equations we have a system of equations shown below:

children + adults = 90

5*children + 12*adults = 548

In order to solve this we will multiply the first equation by -5, and sum both equations we have:

-5*children - 5*adults = -450

5*children + 12*adults = 548

7*adults = 98

adults = 98/7 = 14

children + 14 = 90

children = 90 - 14 = 76

There were 76 childrens and 14 adults.
