Answer:
I believe the answer will be 30 queen bee books.
Multiplicand is the number that gets multiplied, multiplier is the number that you are multiplying by, product is the result of mulptiplication multiplicand by multiplier.
Let a be a multiplicand, b be a multiplier and c be a product, then
a·b=c.
To check the correctness of the answer to a multiplication example, you should divide the product c by the multiplier b:
c÷b=a.
Answer: correct choice is A.
That would be :
4x – 10 = x2 – 5x + 10 ( y = 4x - 10 is substitute for y)
PROOF: y + 5x = x²<span> + 10
</span> (4x - 10) + 5x = x² + 10
4x - 10 = x² -5x + 10
<span>
</span>0 = x2 – 9x + 20<span> (liked terms are grouped and simplified)
PROOF: </span> 4x - 10 = x² -5x + 10
4x = x² -5x + 10 + 10
0 = x² -5x -4x + 20
0 = x² - 9x + 20
Solving:
x² - 9x + 20 = 0
x² - 5x - 4x + 20 = 0
(x - 5) (x - 4) = 0
⇒ x = 4 (as question says) OR x = 5
Let,
the no. of adults be "x"
then, the no. of childern = total people - total adults
= (30 - x)
Now,
According to the quesiton,
2 (30 - x) + 5x = 87
60 - 2x + 5x = 87
60 + 3x = 87
3x = 87 - 60
3x = 27
x = 27 / 3
x = 9
So, there were 9 adults in the group
