Answer: number of adults = 3, number of children = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

x + y = 8 , 15x + 8y = 85

1st equation x 8 = 8x + 8y = 64

$8x+8y-15x-8y = 64 - 85\\-7x = -21\\x=3$

substitute x=3

$3+y=8\\y=5$

5 is what percent of 23

Eddi Din [679]

5 = what percent of 23

5 = x% of 23

5 = (x/100)*23

5 = 23x/100

5*100 = 23x

23x = 5*100

x = 5*100/23

x = 21.739

5 is ≈ 21.739% of 23

Ksivusya [100]

<span>The best way to solve each equation is:

</span> 1) 5x2 + 12x - 3 = 0 -----> solve by quadratic formula
2) 4x2 - 25 = 0 -----------> solve by square root method
3) x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 --------> solve by factoring
4) x2 - 4x = 8 -------------> solve by completing the square
