Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of children be 2x, then number of adults be 3x

Total number is 5x

Let number of children under 10 be 7y, number of children be 3y,

then total number of children is 10y

so 2x = 10y, x = 5y, y/x = 1/5

younger children = children under 10, number is 7y

so the % is 7y/5x = 7/5 * y/x = 7/5 * 1/5 = 7/25 = 28/100 = 28%

What is the completely factored form of x4 8x2 – 9?
Alinara [238K]

For this case we have the following polynomial:

x ^ 4 + 8x ^ 2 - 9

We make the following change of variables:

u = x ^ 2

Rewriting we have

u ^ 2 + 8u - 9

Factoring the second order polynomial we have:

(u + 9) (u-1)

Then, returning the change we have:

(x ^ 2 + 9) (x ^ 2-1)

Finally, we factor the expression in the parentheses of the second term:

(x ^ 2 + 9) (x + 1) (x-1)

Answer:

the completely factored form is:

(x ^ 2 + 9) (x + 1) (x-1)

Aaron is 15 centimeters taller than Peter, and five times Aaron's height exceeds two times Peter's height by 525 centimeters.
Sergio [31]
The answer for this problem would be x equal to 430 cm and y is equal to 325. This is computed by establishing the equations. This first equation based on first statement would be x = 15 + y and the second would be 5x = 3y + 525. Then it is solve as follows:

5x = 3y + 525
