Adults = 9
Children = 2
Let x be the number of adults.
11-x is the number of children.
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22x + 165 - 15x = 228
22x - 15x = 228 - 165
7x = 63
7x / 7 = 63 / 7
x = 9 number of adults.
11 - x = 11 - 9 = 2 number of children.
To check:
22x + 15(11-x) = 228
22(9) + 15(11-9) = 228
198 + 30 = 228
228 = 228
(not my answer btw)
Answer:
The ball will be 84 feet above the ground 1.125 seconds and 4.5 seconds after launch.
Step-by-step explanation:
Statement is incorrect. Correct form is presented below:
<em>The height </em>
<em> of an ball that is thrown straight upward from an initial position 3 feet off the ground with initial velocity of 90 feet per second is given by equation </em>
<em>, where </em>
<em> is time in seconds. After how many seconds will the ball be 84 feet above the ground. </em>
We equalize the kinematic formula to 84 feet and solve the resulting second-order polynomial by Quadratic Formula to determine the instants associated with such height:

(1)
By Quadratic Formula:

,
The ball will be 84 feet above the ground 1.125 seconds and 4.5 seconds after launch.
