For this problem, let x be the number of children and y for adults. Formulate the equations: 1st equation, x + y = 3,200 and 2nd equation 5x + 9y = 24,000. Re-arrange 1st equation into x = 3200 - y. Then, substitute into 2nd equation, 5(3,200-y) + 9y = 24,000. Then, solve for y. The 16,000 - 5y + 9y = 24000. Final answer is, y = 2000 adults went to watch the movie.
Once you remember the definition of a log, the answer to this question will literally fall out of your pencil.
First, ' Ln ' means 'natural log' ... logs to the base of ' e '.
Definition of the natural log of a number:
In order to get the number, what power do I have to raise ' e ' to ?
OK. What power do you have to raise ' e ' to in order to get 1/e² ?
Isn't 1/e² the same thing as e⁻² ?
So, in order to get 1/e² , you have to raise ' e ' to the -2 power .
In math-speak: Ln(1/e²) = <em><u>-2</u></em> .
Explanation: This is a linear equation because it's written in slope-intercept form or <em>y = mx + b</em> where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x-term represents the slope of the line and the<em> b</em> represents the constant term.
So the slope will be the coefficient of the <em>x-term</em> which means the number that is in front of the <em>x</em> which in this case is -5/4.
The y-intercept is the constant term which is +8
The least common multiple (LCM) of two or more non-zero whole numbers is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of those numbers. In other words, the LCM is the smallest number that all of the numbers divide into evenly.
