Answer:

35 adults, 420 children

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up variables

Let's say children is c and adults is a.

2. Create the equations

c = 12a AND c + a = 455

3. Plug in the variables

Let's take c = 12a and substitute it in for c in the equation "c + a = 455." That would be...

12a + a = 455

13a = 455

a = 35

3. Plug in more variables

Now we have our answer for a, so let's plug it into the other equation. That would be...

c + a = 455

c + 35 = 455

c = 420

Can someone help! I know the answer I just need step by step!
baherus [9]

Answer:

4 \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 32 as the product of 16 and 2:

\implies \sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16 \cdot 2

Apply exponent rule \sqrt{a \cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\sqrt{b}

\implies \sqrt{16 \cdot 2}=\sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}

Rewrite 16 as 4²:

\implies \sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{4^2}\sqrt{2}

Apply exponent rule \sqrt{a^2}=a

\implies \sqrt{4^2}\sqrt{2}=4 \sqrt{2}
