Answer:

11 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up a system of equations:

Let x = number of children and y = number of adults

There is a total of 16 people, so x+y = 16. This is your first equation.

Each child ticket costs $6, so 6x = cost of children's tickets based on the number of children present (x)

Each adult ticket costs $9, so 9y = cost of adult's tickets based on the number of adults present (y)

The total cost of tickets is $129, so 6x+9y = 129. This is your second equation.

Your system of equations is now this:

 x +   y = 16

6x + 9y = 129

You can solve this system using the method of elimination, where we will eliminate the variable x (number of children), since we are focused on y (number of adults).

Multiply the top equation by -6. This will give the following equation:

-6x - 6y = -96

You can now solve the system of equations by placing the new equation under the second equation like this:

6x + 9y = 129

-6x - 6y = -96

Now, add the two equations together.

6x + (-6x) = 0

9y + (-6y) = 3y

129 + (-96) = 33

After doing this, you get the following equation:

3y = 33

As you can see, the variable x has been eliminated, and you are left with y.

Solve the equation for y:

3y = 33

y = 33/3 = 11

y = 11 adults

Please help!!!!!<br><br>Key features of Graphs
krok68 [10]
The graph is **increasing on the interval (-2, 1)**because the graph has a positive slope from x=-2 to x=1. It’s **decreasing at the intervals (-infinity, -2) and (1, infinity)**because the graph has a negative slope between the x values -infinity to -2 and is also decreasing between the x values of 1 and infinity.

First hour: 40 mph

Second, Third, Fourth hours:

180 miles / 3 hours = 60 mph

Average: 40 (hour 1) + 60 (hour 2) + 60 (hour 3) + 60 (hour 4) = 220 / 4 hours = 55 mph average

12n^3 + 16n^3 can someone please help me with this?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

4n^{3} (3n^{2} + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the problem is asking you to factor out the formula, it can be done easily by finding a common number with the two givens.

4 goes into both 12 and 16 evenly, so we will use this to factor. But that's not all, we have the n-variable to worry about.

Look at the n-variable exponents in the problem, take the highest power that can go be subtracted from both and use that. We have a n^{5} and n^{3}. Since 5 can't go into 3, we must use 3 to factor.

Our factoring variable will therefore be 4n^{3}. Now, use this to simply divide and get the answer:

( 12n^{5} + 16n^{3} ) / 4n^{3}  = 4n^{3}(3n^{2} + 4)

So how did we get this? For the whole numbers, we have to divide: (12/4, 16/4). Next, we have to minus the exponents since we are dividing.

When dividing the 12 and 4, minus the n^{5} and n^{3} to get n^{2}. Get rid of the n^{3} term for the 16 and leave the 4. And there's your answer!
