Answer:
13 children and 9 adults if the total cost is $152.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x children and y adults
x + y = 22 (1)
5.5x + 9y = 125.5 (2)
y = 22 - x
5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 125.5
5.5x + 198 - 9x = 125.5
-3.5x = 125.5 - 198
-3.5x = -72.5
x = 20.7
y = 22 - x = 1.3
Which is not possible
If the total cost is $152.5
x + y = 22 (1)
5.5x + 9y = 152.5 (2)
y = 22 - x
5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 152.5
5.5x + 198 - 9x = 152.5
-3.5x = 152.5 - 198
-3.5x = -45.5
x = 13
y = 22 - 13 = 9

Answer:
huh
Step-by-step explanation:
The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5 then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4 This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6 then: (x+1)=6+1=7 This solution is right.
Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.
I’m pretty sure the answer is either D or E but I’m not positive !
