Answer:
1200 children and 1500 Adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose x be the children and y be the adults as total people are 2700 that have entered so we can write an equation as
x+y=2700 (Equation 1)
and as per child $1.50 is the cost and $4 for every adult and collectively we have got $7800 so we can write the equation as
1.50x+4y=7800 (Equation 2)
Extracting the value of y from equation 1
Y=2700-x (Equation 3)
Putting the value of y from equation 3 into equation 2
1.50x+4(2700-x)=7800
1.50x+10800-4x=7800
1.50x-4x=7800-10800
-2.5x=-3000
Cancellation of negative signs on both sides
x=3000/2.5
x=1200
Putting the value of x in equation 3 to get the value of y
y=2700-1200
y=1500
Answer: This sample may be biased because he is only asking the bike riders when in reality there might be a majority of students who instead take an alternate form of transportation
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- The system has infinitely many solutions when a = 3/4 and b = 1/2
<h3>Given </h3>
System of linear equations
<h3>To find </h3>
- Values of a and b that leads to infinitely many solutions
<h3>Solution</h3>
The linear system of equations has infinitely many solutions when lines overlap, so both have same slope and y-intercept.
We can solve it in two different ways
1. Note that when the first equation is multiplied by 4, it has same value of constant as the second equation, which is 64.
- 4ax + 4by = 64
- 3x + 2y = 64
When compared it gives us:
- 4a = 3 ⇒ a = 3/4
- 4b = 2 ⇒ b = 2/4 = 1/2
2. Convert both equations from standard to slope-intercept form and compare:
- ax + by = 16
- by = -ax + 16
- y = - (a/b)x + 16/b
- 3x + 2y = 64
- 2y = - 3x + 64
- y = - (3/2)x + 32
Work out values of a and b:
- 16/b = 32 ⇒ b = 16/32 ⇒ b = 1/2
- - (a/b) = - 3/2 ⇒ a/b = 3/2 ⇒ a = 3b/2 ⇒ a = 3(1/2)/2 ⇒ a = 3/4
