Answer:
The answer is 457
Step-by-step explanation:
You set up an equation as
10a+7c=6459
a+c=783
c= child
a= adult
then you simplify to 3a=978 by taking out one of the values. You get a - 326.
783-326=457 so there is your answer
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3...simplify by combining like terms
-0.8d = 2.3d + 3....subtract 2.3d from both sides
-0.8d - 2.3d = 3 ...simplify again
-3.1d = 3...divide both sides by -3.1
d = 3/ -3.1
d = - 0.97
or
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3....multiply the equation by 10, gets rid of the decimals
32d - 40d = 23d + 30....subtract 23d from both sides
32d - 40d - 23d = 30....simplify
-31d = 30...divide by -31
d = -30/31
d = - 0.97
Answer:
The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the measure of the shortest side
y ---> the measure of the middle side
z ---> the measure of the longest side
we know that
The perimeter of triangle is equal to


so
----> equation A
the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side
so
----> equation B
the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side
so
----> equation C
substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

solve for y

Find the value of x

therefore
The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles
