Answer:

x = -5\frac{1}{2} is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - 1 = 5x + 10 --- Correct expression

x = -5\frac{1}{2}

Required

Determine if the given solution is correct

To do this, we simply solve for x in the given equation.

So, we have:

3x - 1 = 5x + 10

Collect like terms

3x - 5x = 1 + 10

-2x = 11

Divide both sides by -2

\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{11}{-2}

x = -\frac{11}{2}

x = -5\frac{1}{2}

​ On a certain hot​ summer's day, 335 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.00 fo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).

We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c

We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25

By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25

Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25

Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -

$70.75

Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.

The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57

The mean of 5 numbers is 30. The median is 33. What might the numbers be?
tatiyna

Let a,b,c,d and e are five numbers

mean = (a +b+ c+ d+e)/5 = 30

⇒ (a +b+ c+ d+e) = 150_______(1)

now, Let the number excluded be a

then, new mean =  (b+ c+ d+e)/4 = 28

⇒ (b+ c+ d+e)= 112

putting this value in (1),

⇒a + 112 = 150

⇒a = 150 -112 = 38

excluded number = 38
