Answer:

  3 tents hold 2 campers

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be expressed as a single equation in the number of 2-camper tents.

__

Let x represent the number of 2-camper tents. Then the number of 4-camper tents is 6-x, and the total number of campers in tents is ...

  2x +4(6 -x) = 18

  -2x +24 = 18

  -2x = -6 . . . . . . subtract 24

  x = 3 . . . . . . . divide by -2

Exactly 3 tents hold 2 campers.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The other 3 tents hold 4 campers.

Another way to consider this is to assume that all tents hold 2 campers, and then realize there are 18 -6×2 = 6 campers left over. If these are placed 2 per tent, then there will be 6/2 = 3 tents with 4 campers. The remaining 3 tents will have 2 campers.

Which expression is equal to (x+2)(−3x2+3x+1)?

Multiply everything in the second parenthesis by x.

-3x^3 + 3x^2 + x

Multiply everything in the second parenthesis by 2.

-6x^2 + 6x + 2

Combine these two equations together.

-3x^3 + 3x^2 + x - 6x^2 + 6x + 2

Combine like terms.

-3x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x + 2

If UW = 9x – 9, what is UW in units?
Tju [1.3M]
I will answer this question to the best of my ability, because you have not provided a value of x to plug in.


UW is always equal to 9x-9 or 9(x-1) whenever x is a real number.  By plugging in x, we can get the value.  For example, if x was 4, we plug in x, giving us 9*4-9=36-9=27 units or 9(4-1)=9(3)=27 units
Don't forget to include units when you complete your answer!

Hope this helps!  I did as much as I could!
