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'.

Two marathon runners run the full distance of the marathon, approximately 26 miles, in 4 hours.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

6.5 miles in 1 hour and they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance covered by two marathon runners = 26 miles

They takes 4 hours

We need to find how many miles did they run in 1 hour

In 4 hour, the distance covered is 26 miles

To find distance covered in 1 hour, divide 26 by 4 such that.

d=\dfrac{26}{4}\\\\d=6.5\ \text{miles/hour}

So, they will cover 6.5 miles in 1 hour.

For percentage,

\%=\dfrac{26-6.5}{26}\times 100\\\\=75\%

So, they will run 75% of the full distance in 1 hour.

The equation sin(40o) =b/20 can be used to determine the length of line segment AC. What is the length of AC? Round to the neare
boyakko [2]
For this case we have the following equation:
 sin (40o) = b / 20
 Clearing b we have:
 20 * sin (40o) = b
 Therefore, the length of the AC segment is given by:
 b = 12.9
 Answer:
 
the length of AC is:
 
b = 12.9

Write an equation of the line that passes through point (-1, 5) and has the slope<br> m = 4.
Juliette [100K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slope (m) = 4

Point ( -1 , 5)

Now the equation of line is

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

y - 5 = 4 ( x + 1)

y - 5 = 4x + 4

4x + 4 - y + 5= 0

4x - y + 9 = 0

which is the required equation
