Answer:102 children and 337 adults swam at the publice pool that da

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of children be x

and

the number of adults be y

such that the total number of people who came to use the public swimming pool be expressed as

x + y = 439----- Equation 1

and price  for swimming be expressed as

1.75x + 2.50y =1021----- Equation 2

Step 2

x + y = 439----- Equation 1

1.75x + 2.50y =1021----- Equation 2

First make x the subject formulae and put in equation 2

x= 439-y

1.75 (430-y) + 2.50y = 1021

Solving gives

768.25-1.75y+2.50y=1021

2.50y-1.75y=1021-768.25

0.75y=252.75

y =252.75/0.75  

y=337

To find x, put the value of y = 337 in equation 1

x+y= 439

x= 439-337

x=102

Therefore 102 children and 337 adults swam at the public pool that day

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

X = 13.13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between Lila and Mark be x.

Let the distance between Avery and lila be A= 20

Let the distance between Avery and Mark be B= 30

Angle x = 200-180=20°

To solve this question we will use the cosine formula which is

X² = A²+ B² -2ABcosx

X²= 20² + 30² -2(20)(30)cos20

X²=1300-1127.6

X²= 172.4

X= 13.13

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

x=15

y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

then x+y=33

and 2x+5y=120

then x=33–y

since 2x+5y=120

then 2(33–y)+5y=120

then 66–2y+5y=120

then 66+3y=120

then 3y=120–66

then 3y=54

then y=54/3

then y=18

then x=33–18=15
