<h2>Key Concepts</h2>
  • Algebraic equations from word problems
  • Systems of equations

<h2>Solving the Question</h2>

We're given:

  • There were 478 people in total.
  • $1.75 per child
  • $2.25 per adult
  • Total revenue of $975
  • We must find the number of children and adults who swam.

<h3>Set variables:</h3>

Let <em>a</em> represent the number of children who swam.

Let <em>b</em> represent the number of adults who swam.

<h3>Create equations</h3>

Because we've set two variables, we need two equations to be able to find the answers.

One of the equations will regard price while the other will regard the number of people, as those are the two things given in the question.

Number of people:

a+b=478

  • The number of children + the number of adults = 478 in total

Price:

1.75a+2.25b=975

  • $1.75 per child + $2.25 per child = $975 in total

<h3>Solve equations</h3>
  • a+b=478
  • 1.75a+2.25b=975

We can solve this question using <em>substitution</em>, where we plug one equation into the other.

Isolate <em>a</em> in the first equation:

a+b=478\\a=478-b

Plug the first equation into the second equation by replacing <em>a</em>:

1.75a+2.25b=975\\1.75(478-b)+2.25b=975

Solve for <em>b</em>:

1.75(478-b)+2.25b=975

⇒ Open up the parentheses:

836.5-1.75b+2.25b=975\\836.5-0.5b=975

⇒ Subtract 836.5 from both sides to isolate <em>b</em>:

-0.5b=138.5

⇒ Divide both sides by -0.5:

b=277

  • Therefore, there were 277 adults in total.

Solve for <em>a</em>:

a+b=478

⇒ Replace <em>b</em> with 277:

a+277=478\\a=201

  • Therefore, there were 201 children in total.

<h2>Answer</h2>

There were 201 children and 277 children at the pool that day.

Calculate limits x&gt;-infinity<br> -2x^5-3x+1
Lera25 [3.4K]

Given:

The limit problem is:

\lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)

To find:

The value of the given limit problem.

Solution:

We have,

\lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)

In the function -2x^5-3x+1, the degree of the polynomial is 5, which is an odd number and the leading coefficient is -2, which is a negative number.

So, the function approaches to positive infinity as x approaches to negative infinity.

\lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)=\infty

Therefore, \lim_{x\to -\infty}(-2x^5-3x+1)=\infty.

8+2(5 - x) = <br> Need help
nikdorinn [45]
We can distribute
2(5)+2(-x)=10-2x

we get
8+10-2x=?
18-2x=?

whatever that ? is, we don't know
multiply both sides by -1
2x-18=-?
add 18 to both sides
2x=18-?
divide bth sides by 2
x=9-(?/2)
whatever the left side  it, just divide it by 2 and subtract it from 9
