x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
42 ÷ 7 = 6
Answer:
m∠M = 79°
m∠N = 66°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠MPN is supplementary to ∠MPQ, so m∠MPN = 35
The sum of the measures of a triangle is 180.
So, m∠M + m∠N + m∠MPN = 180
5y + 4 + 4y + 6 + 35 = 180
9y + 45 = 180
9y = 135
y = 15
m∠M = 5y + 4 = 5(15) + 4 = 75 + 4 = 79
m∠N = 4y + 6 = 4(15) + 6 = 66
Another way to do this problem, which is easier, is to know that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
That means 5y + 4 + 4y + 6 = 145
9y + 10 = 145
9y = 135
y = 15
From knowing the value of y you can now find the measures of angles M and N
Given:
The point, (4, -3)
The line,
To find an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (4,-3) and is parallel to the given line:
The slope of the line is,
Since the given line is parallel to the new line, so the slope will be same for the both.
Using the point-slope formula,
Substitute the point and slope we get,
Hence, the equation in slope-intercept form for the line is,
