Mathematics

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first, second and third numbers be a, b and c respectively.

a +b +c= 72 -----(1)

b= 7a -----(2)

c= b -18 -----(3)

Substitute (2) into (3):

c= 7a -18 -----(4)

Substitute (2) and (4) into (1):

a +7a +7a -18= 72

Simplify:

15a -18= 72

Add 18 to both sides of the equation:

15a= 72 +18

15a= 90

Divide both sides by 15:

a= 90 ÷15

a= 6

Thus, the first number is 6.

I’m confused on what to do next please help
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

There are 585 adults and children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults be a, number of children be c and the number of seniors be a

Amount made per group;

adults; 52 * a = 52a

Children : 26 * c = 26c

Seniors = 20 * s = 20s

Adding all will give 20,490

52a + 20s + 26c = 20 490 ••••(i)

Now let us work with the ratios;

a : s = 6 : 1

a/s = 6/1

a = 6s •••••(ii)

Lastly;

a/c = 4/9

4c = 9a ••••(ii)

We want to get a + c

From the first equation , let’s substitute

52(6s) + 20s + 26c = 20,490

26c = 6.5 (4c)

but 4c = 9a; 6.5(9a)

But a = 6s

So we have; 6.5(9)(6s) = 351s

so we have;

312s + 351s + 20s = 20,490

683s = 20,490

s = 20490/683

s = 30

Recall;

a = 6s = 6 * 30 = 180

4c = 9a

4c = 9 * 180

c = (9 * 180)/4 = 405

So the total number of children and adult is a + c

405 + 180 = 585
