Answer:
There are 3 adults in the family.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equations 8x + 4y = 32 and 16x + 12y = 72 represent the cost of lunch and dinner for a family in which x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
We have to find the number of adults or the value of x by solving these equations.
equations are 8x + 4y = 32 -------(1)
16x + 12y = 72 --------(2)
Now we will multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract it by equation 2.
(16x + 12y) -3(8x + 4y) = 72 - 96
16x + 12y - 24x - 12y = -24
(16x - 24x) + (12y - 12y) = -24
-8x = - 24
8x = 24
x = 3
Therefore, there are 3 adults in the family.
I think the correct answer is D 1,-3
Answer:
yes because its not how much you walk if it is the same distance to the park, then yes. You walked the same distance to the park, however the dog ran more around, you were possibly following the dog so... yea.
Square root of 6 times 16 will give us 39.19
The square root of 48 times 32 [which gives us 1536] is also equal to 39.19
The square root of 1536 is equal to 39.19
Hence, x is equal to 32
Hope this helped! :D
