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

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

4.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the height of the triangle (perpendicular line from point A to line BC).  Since ABC is an isosceles triangle, the height is a perpendicular bisector, so it splits the triangle into two congruent right triangles.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height.

c² = a² + b²

(8.5 m)² = (14.5/2 m)² + h²

h ≈ 4.4 m

A species of horned beetle has a (starting) population size of 4000 individuals. Every month, 170 individuals are born. However,
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Starting population = 4000

Addition per month = 170

decline on population per month = 70

Increase rate in population per month (dt) :

Starting population = 4000

Number of births per month = 170

However, the population declines by 70 individuals each month

Hence,

Number of births - number of deaths(d) = 70

170 - d = - 70 ( decline?

170 + 70 = d

240 = d

d = number of deaths

Per capita death :

Total number of deaths per. Month / starting population

= 240 / 4000

= 0.06
