Answer:
x=16
Step-by-step explanation:
7x−2(3x−5)=26
Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 3x−5.
7x−6x+10=26
Combine 7x and −6x to get x.
x+10=26
Subtract 10 from both sides.
x=26−10
Subtract 10 from 26 to get 16.
x=16

Answer:
461 adults and 864 students
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 1,325 tickets were purchased, then s+a=1325.
We also know that a total of $3,169 was collected and adult tickets cost $5 each and students cost $1 each. We can write 1s+5a=3169.
We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We first solve the first equation for s which is s=1325-a. Substitute s=1325-a into 1s+5a=3169. Simplify and isolate the variable a.
1(1325-a)+5a=3169
1325-a+5a=3169
1325+4a=3169
1325-1325+4a=3169-1325
4a=1844
a=461
This means that 461 adults attended and 864 students attended since 864+461=1325.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of a rectange is lw, where l is length and w is width. Since x-4 and 5x+2 are the sides, we can multiply them together to give us the area. We do (x-4)(5x+2). We use the FOIL method (First Outside Inside Last) and get 5x^2-18x-8.
Answer:
1/3,1/4,and so on like increasing in number
Answer:
98
Step-by-step explanation:
From the statement of similarity, we can write this proportion.
TV/MV = UV/LV
28/x = 16/56
16x = 28 × 56
x = 7 × 14
x = 98
