Answer: There are 69 adults and 72 children went to the concert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adults, and y be the number of children.

x + y = 141

3.5x + 2.5y = 421.5

x + y =141

x = 141 - y

3.5(141 - y) + 2.5y = 421.5

493.5 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 421.5

493.5 - y = 421.5

-y = -72

y = 72

x + y = 141

x + 72 = 141

x = 69

A sequence is generated by the formula ax = 3x + 4. What is the value of the seventh term?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

25

Explanation:

We are given the sequence formula expression;

ax = 3x + 4

You are to get the 7th term. This is gotten by substituting x = 7 into the expression as shown;

a7 = 3(7) + 4

a7 = 21 + 4

a7 = 25

Hence the seventh term of the sequence is 25

Devon's father is installing new wood flooring. He bought boards that are 10 ft long, 3/4 in. thick, and 11/24 in. wide. Determi
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

36 boards

Step-by-step explanation:

The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.

Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)

I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.

Therefore he needs 36 boards
