Answer:

D 36

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Write the information algebraically</em>

c = 3a

c + a = 48

c = children, a = adults

<em>In the second sentence (in bold), we can replace c with 3a</em>

c + a = 48 → 3a + a = 48

<em>Simplify</em>

3a + a = 48 → 4a = 48 → a = 12 (divide both sides by 4)

<em>We can then substitute or plug in a = 12 into the original equation:</em>

c + a = 48 → c + 12 = 48 → c = 36 (subtract 12 from both sides)

<h3>There are 36 children</h3>

I asked before and didn’t get an answer I really don’t understand this thanks.
dmitriy555 [2]
The answer is D, because that is what you should get when you multiply it out.

4x^2 times x^2 = 4x^4 because...

1) multiply the 4 and the one in front of the x on the second term = 4 then

2) multiply x^2 times x^2 to get x^4, not x^3, so you can immediately eliminate A and B to save time.

Now let's deal with the second part..."may or may not be" part

A polynomial is an expression with more than two algebraic terms

terms are like...
2x + 3y ---there's two terms there, eventhough the 2 and x are multiplied, it doesn't count (same with the 3 and y)
since it only have two terms, not more than two terms, it is called a binomial, not polynomial. I think that's what they mean by that

one term with a variable (y,x,and so on) is called a monomial

one term with no var is called a constant

there's many more but hope this gave you some help
