Well first, 32 x 18 = 576
Second 18 divided by 2 = 9
Third 9 x 60 = 540
Fourth 540 + 576 = 1116
Fifth Cost of adult meal 18
Sixth Cost of Student meal 9

Answer:

  $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of an adult meal (the value we want to know). The cost of a student meal is half that, or x/2. The total cost of all the meals is ...

  60(x/2) +32x = 1116

  62x = 1116 . . . . . collect terms

  x = 1116/62 = 18 . . . . divide by 62

The cost of an adult meal is $18.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can instead use a variable for the cost of a student meal, or you can use variables for both:

  a = 2s

  32a +60s = 1116

It makes sense here to solve this by eliminating the s variable in any of several ways, since you ultimately want to know the value of 'a'.

8x-3(2x-4)≤ 3(x-6)
OlgaM077 [116]

The solution to the inequality expression is x ≥ 30

<h3>How to solve the inequality expression?</h3>

The inequality expression is given as:

8x - 3(2x - 4) ≤ 3(x - 6)

Open the brackets in the above inequality expression

8x - 6x + 12 ≤ 3x - 18

Collect the like terms in the above inequality expression

8x - 6x - 3x  ≤ -12 - 18

Evaluate the like terms in the above inequality expression

-x  ≤ -30

Divide both sides of the above inequality expression by -1

x ≥ 30

Hence, the solution to the inequality expression is x ≥ 30

babymother [125]

\frac{1}{10} part of the whole painting is gold colored.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that , In art class, Arthur has created a triangle painting \frac{1}{5} of his painting is purple.  

He decided he wants to Paint \frac{4}{8} of the purple area gold  

We have to find what fraction of the whole painting will be painting?  

Now, \frac{1}{5} part of whole painting is purple

And, \frac{4}{8} part of the purple area is gold ⇒ \frac{4}{8} part of the \frac{1}{5} part of whole painting is gold

\text { Then, fraction of gold color }=\frac{4}{8} \times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{10}

Hence, \frac{1}{10} part of the whole painting is gold colored.
