Answer:

2,172 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adults = x

children = y

x + y = 5400

9.5x + 6.5y = 41,616

Let's use the elimination method to solve this.

Multiply the top equation by -6.5

(x + y = 5400)-6.5

-6.5x - 6.5y = -35100

This will allow us to eliminate the y and add up the other terms

9.5x + 6.5y = 41,616

-6.5x - 6.5y = -35100

3x = 6516

Divide both sides by the coefficient, 3, to isolate the variable, x

3x/3 = 6516/3

x = 2172

Solve the formula V = 1/3b^2 h for b.
liraira [26]

Answer:

b=\sqrt{\frac{3V}{h}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a formula for one of its variables do that

  • Underline the variable
  • Separate it on one side and the other terms on the other side
  • Make its coefficient equals 1

Let us use these steps to solve our question

∵ V = \frac{1}{3} b²h

→ Underline b

∴ V = \frac{1}{3} <u>b²</u>h

→ Multiply both sides by 3 to cancel the denominator on the right side

∴ 3V = <u>b²</u>h

→ Divide both sides by h to move it to the other side

∴ \frac{3V}{h}=b^{2}

→ To find b take √  for both sides

∴ \sqrt{\frac{3V}{h}}=\sqrt{b^{2} }

→ The square root will cancel the power 2 of b

∴ \sqrt{\frac{3V}{h}}=b

→ Switch the two sides

∴  b=\sqrt{\frac{3V}{h}}

A force of 61 N is applied to an area of 750 cm2. Calculate the pressure in N/m2. Give your answer to the nearest integer
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

  813 N/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The units of pressure tell you it is found by dividing force by area. Here, we need to convert the units of the given area so we can express the pressure appropriately.

__

  pressure = force / area

  pressure = (61 N)/(750 cm² × ((1 m)/(100 cm))²) = (61 N)/(0.0750 m²)

  pressure ≈ 813 N/m²

Solve for x: 12x-20=6(x-20)-9x
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-20=6(x-20)-9x

Opening bracket

12x - 20 = 6x - 120 - 9x

Collecting like terms

12x - 6x + 9x = -120 + 20

15x = -100

Dividing by 15

15x/15 = -100/15

x = -20/3

x = - 6 2/3

Round to the place value of the less precise measurement. <br> 2.13 m + 8.6 m
Maru [420]
The answer would be 10.19m. If you want to round it of to a less precise measurement it would be 10 m. That is rounding of the decimal value to the ones place. the rule of rounding of is form 6 t0 9 it would add 1 to the nearest place value next to it and 0 - 5 will not.
