Answer:

The answer to your question is there were 88 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of people = 188

total cost = $5040

12 more adults than seniors

number of children = ?

adults = a

children = c

Process

1.- Write equations that help to solve this problem

             a + c = 188              Equation l

             a = c + 12                 Equation ll

2.- Solve by substitution. Substitute equation equation ll in equation l

           (c + 12) + c = 188

-Solve for c

            c + 12 + c = 188

            2c + 12 = 188

            2c = 188 - 12

            2c = 176

              c = 176 / 2

              c = 88

3.- Conclusion

There were 88 children

Kendal bought x boxes of cookies to bring to a party. Each box contains 12 cookies. She decides to keep two boxes for herself. S
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

12 × x = 12x

She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

12 × 2 = 24 cookies

She brings 60 cookies to the party.

The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

12x = 24 + 60

12x = 84

x = 84/12 = 7 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

I use  84+ CE

stat edit, then fill in the #s

then

vars 5

then

2'nd stat plot, on

then, click stat

Click arrow 1 time to the left to get to Calc

then click (4)(LinReg(ax+b))

then click enter 5 times

(y=-25.31428571x+1000.285714

y=-25.3x+1000.3

now, lets use computer:

y=-25.31(543)+1000.3

y=-12743.03

round to the biggest whole number )

this doesn't really work, so I will put 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 instead of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and do the same thing

now I get

y=-25.31428571x+51603.54286

y=-25.3x+51603.5

now, lets use computer:

y=-25.3(543)+51603.5

y=37865.6

round to the biggest whole number:

y=37866

so, year 37866

In parallelogram ABCD , diagonals AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ and BD⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ intersect at point E, AE=x2−16 , and CE=6x .
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

<h3>AC=96 units.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parallelogram ABCD with diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

AE=x^2-16. , and CE=6x .

<em>Note: The diagonals of a parallelogram intersects at mid-point.</em>

Therefore, AE = EC.

Plugging expressions for AE and EC, we get

x^2-16=6x.

Subtracting 6x from both sides, we get

x^2-16-6x=6x-6x

x^2-6x-16=0

Factoriong quadratic by product sum rule.

We need to find the factors of -16 that add upto -6.

-16 has factors -8 and +2 that add upto -6.

Therefore, factor of x^2-6x-16=0 quadratic is (x-8)(x+2)=0

Setting each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

x-8=0  => x=8

x+2=0  => x=-2.

We can't take x=-2 as it's a negative number.

Therefore, plugging x=8 in EC =6x, we get

EC = 6(8) = 48.

<h3>AC = AE + EC = 48+48 =96 units.</h3>
