Answer: 51 Children and 36 Adults.

Step-by-step explanation: Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.

We know that x+z= 87

We also know that 3.25x+3.5z= 291.75.

We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:

Multiply the first equation by -3.5 and add it to the second equation:

-3.5x-3.5z= -304.5

3.25x+3.5z= 291.75

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-0.25x=-12.75

x= -42.75 ÷ -0.25

x=51

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z

51+z=87

z=87-51

z= 36

Omg took me like 10 minutes to calculate would appreciate brainliest. Have a wonderful day.

If f(x)=x^2-2x-8 and g(x)=1/4x-1, for which value of x is f(x)=g(x)?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The answer is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2x-8=1/4x-1

x^2-9x/4-7=0

4x^2-9x=28

Therefore if we take value of x as 4 aur eq.get balanced...

Point A is located at negative 5 over 8 and point B is located at negative 2 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B

ki77a [65]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: A is the correct answer.

A. negative 5 over 8 minus negative 2 over 8 = negative 3 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 3 over 8 equals 3 over 8 units.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The location of Point A is : A(-5/8)

and Point B is located at : B(-2/8)

We know that when two points lie over a number line then the distance between the two points is the absolute difference between the two points.

If A is located at a.

and B is located at b.

Then the distance between A and B is given by:

|a-b|

Hence, here the distance between A and B is given by:

$|\dfrac{-5}{8}-(\dfrac{-2}{8})|=|\dfrac{-5}{8}+\dfrac{2}{8}|=|\dfrac{-3}{8}|=\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\i.e.\\\\\text{Distance between A and B is}=\dfrac{3}{8}\ \text{units}$

In equilateral triangle RST, R has coordinates (0, 0) and T has coordinates of (2a, 0). Find the coordinates of S in terms of a.

FromTheMoon [43]

The x coordinate of S will be 1/2 * 2a = a.
and since the half triangle is 30-60-90 the y coordinate will be sqrt3 a

so S is (a , sqrt3a)

Adam and Tom share a sum of money in the ratio 18:17

Digiron [165]

x = total amount split between Adam and Tom.

since we know the total amount split between both in a 18 : 17 ratio is "x", let's divide "x" by (18 + 17) and distribute accordingly to get the amount of each.

$\stackrel{Adam~received}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that Adam got "5" more}}{ \stackrel{Adam}{18\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}~~ = ~~\stackrel{Tom}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}~~ + ~~5} }\qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{18x}{35}~~ + ~~\cfrac{17x}{35}+5$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{35}}{35\left( \cfrac{18x}{35} \right)~~ = ~~35\left( \cfrac{17x}{35}+5 \right)}\implies 18x~~ = ~~17x+175\implies \boxed{x =175} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{Tom~received}{17\cdot \cfrac{x}{18+17}}\implies \cfrac{17(175)}{35}\implies \blacktriangleright 85 \blacktriangleleft$
