Answer:
212 children, and 265 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of children and adults, we can set up a systems of equations.
x= number of children
y= number of adults
Equation 1: Price
1.50x+2.25y=914.25
Equation 2: Total number of people
x+y=477
Now, let's solve the equation using substitution.
Rearrange the second equation to solve for one variable.
x+y=477
x=477-y
Now plug x equals into the first equation, and solve for y.
1.50x+2.25y=914.25
1.50(477-y)+2.25y=914.25
715.5-1.50y+2.25y=914.25
715.5+0.75y=914.25
0.75y=198.75
y=265
We just solved for the number of adults. Now let's plug y equals into the second equation to find the number of children.
x+y=477
x+265=477
x=212
To solve this problem, you can make a proportion:
3/900 = x/2100
In this case, the x represents the pounds that will be needed to cover 2,100 feet.
The first step is to cross multiply like this:
3 * 2100 = 900 * x
Now you can simply the equation.
6300 = 900x
Now you divide both sides by 900 to cancel it out.
7 = x
So, your answer is 7 pounds.
I believe the answer should be approximately 6,147 because you would plug into the equation y=20,000(.95)^t, where t=23.
A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side.

The answer is "D"
Replace y in the second equation with the value of Y from the first equation:
-x - 3 = 5
Add 3 to both sides:
-x = 8
Multiply both sides by -1:
x = -8
The answer is:
(-8,3)
