For this scenario, let x represent the number of children and y denote the number of adults. We can derive the first equation as x + y = 3,200 and the second as 5x + 9y = 24,000. Reorganizing the first equation gives us x = 3200 - y. Next, we substitute this into the second equation, leading to 5(3,200 - y) + 9y = 24,000. By simplifying, we find 16,000 - 5y + 9y = 24000. Thus, y equals 2000, indicating that 2000 adults attended the movie.

PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

(-16x + 13)° + (-20x + 23)° = 180° (ángulo recto)

-16x° + 13° - 20x° + 23° = 180°

-36x° + 36° = 180°

-36x° = 180° - 36°

-36x° = 144°

-x° = 144°/(-36)

x° = 36°

Her phrasing suggests that she would sell numerous water bottles and just a single iced tea. The accurate equation should be 1.25x + 1.49y = 100, as she may offer varying quantities of both.

Sanjit drives the 45 km distance between York and Leeds he then drives a further 42 km from Leeds to Blackpool
Leona [12618]

The average speed for his entire journey from York to Blackpool is about 61.41 km/h.

Here’s a breakdown of how we arrive at this:

\text{ The average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}

The distance he travelled from York to Leeds is 45 km,

and the speed during that section was 54 km/h.

Therefore, the time taken to travel from York to Leeds is 45/54 hours (since Time = Distance/Speed).

Next, the distance from Leeds to Blackpool is 42 km,

and the time for that leg of the journey is 35 minutes, which is 35/60 hours.

This leads to the total duration for his trip as

=\frac{45}{54}+\frac{35}{60}=\frac{450+315}{540}=\frac{765}{540}=\frac{17}{12} hours.

The cumulative distance covered equals 45 + 42 = 87 km.

Thus, his average speed is calculated as:

=\frac{87}{17/12}= \frac{12\times 87}{17}=\frac{1044}{17}=61.4117647\approx 61.41\text{ km per hour}
