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

rodikova [14]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3) Simplify, which makes it -4x=-24

4) Divide by 4, which gives you 6.

Parallelogram Property: opposite angles are congruent<br><br> Solve for x
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the two opposite Angles

7x - 31 = 5x + 13                Subtract 5x from both sides

7x - 5x - 31 = 13                 Combine

2x - 31 = 13                        Add 31 to both sides

2x = 13 + 31                       Combine the right

2x = 44                             Divide by 2

x = 44/2

x = 22

How do i graph y=x+2, y=2,x=4
Mrac [35]

Answer:to graph y=2 go to the y axis and go to positive 2 and make a horizontal straight line. And to graph x=4 go to the x axis and go to positive 4 and make a vertical straight line.

and to graph y=x+2 make a dot on (0,2) and (-2,0) then make a line thru them using a ruler or straight object. (also i seriously recommend using desmos to graph online its super easy to use :) )
