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

What is the equation of the line written in general form
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

y = -x + 2.

or

x + y - 2 = 0 (Standard form).

Step-by-step explanation:

Its slope (m) is -1 and y intercept (c) is at y = 2.

y = mx + c

So it's:

y = -1x + 2

Standard form is:

x + y - 2 = 0.

I'm not sure what you mean by General Form.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (4.5, 13.5) and (–3.5, –9).
Zigmanuir [339]
Given two points: (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the slope "m" will be:
m=(y₁-y₂) / (x₁-x₂)                or                  m=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

In this case:
(4.5 , 13.5)
(-3.5 , -9)

m=(-9-13.5) / (-3.5-4.5)=-22.5 / -8=2.8125

Answer: the slope will be m=2.8125.
