Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-a + 6b = -3 + 6 * (-6) = -3 - 36 = -39
Answer: 7.81 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This scenario forms a right-angled triangle where Ruby's height of 5 feet is the height of the triangle. Her 6 feet long shadow is the length of the triangle and the distance from the top of her head to the end of the shadow is the hypotenuse.
This can therefore be solved by the Pythagorean formula:
c² = a² + b²
where ;
c = hypotenuse
a = height
b = length
c² = 5² + 6²
c² = 25 + 36
c² = 61
c = √61
c = 7.81 feet
180/3= 60 mph
60 x 7= 420
420 miles drive on tuesday
have a good day:)
We have to make 2 equations
A = Adults C= Children
So: A + C = 1300
15A + 10C = 17250
We can solve for A and C in 2 ways, SUBSTITUTION or ELIMINATION
I'll do substitution
SUBSTITUTION: Subtract A from both sides
A + C = 1300
-A -A
C = 1300 - A
Plug C is to the 2nd equation
15A + 10(1300 - A) = 17,250
15A + 13,000 - 10A = 17,250
5A + 13,000 = 17,250
- 13,000 -13,000
5A = 4250
---- ---------
5 5
A= 850
So, there are 850 adults, subtract 850 from 1,300 and there 450 children
Answer: 850 adults
450 children
