The value of the coefficient B is 9.
2(x+By)(x-2y)
=2(x^2 -2xy +Bxy -2By^2)
=2x^2 -4xy + 2Bxy - 4By^2
The original form is 2x^2 + 14xy - 36y^2
-36y^2 = -4By^2
B= 9
-4xy +2Bxy= 14xy
xy(-4 +2B)= 14xy
-4 + 2B = 14
2B = 18
B=9
Let c be children and a adults.
3.5c + 7a = 1771 (the total revenue is equal to the amounts made off of people)
c + a = 331 (total number of people)
The second formula becomes a = 331 - c. This can be substituted into the first formula.
3.5c + 7(331 - c) = 1771 = 7*331 - 3.5c = 1771. 7*331 = 2317, so 3.5c = 2317 - 1771 = 546.
546/3.5 = 156 = c (number of children).
c + a = 156 + a = 331 => a = 331 - 156 = 175 (number of adults).
There are 156 children and 175 adults
The perimeter is all sides length added together. You can make an equation:5+5+x+x where x is the length.
5+5=10 18-10=8 There is two sides so you do eight divided by two
The length is 4
The answer to your question would be $18
