On a certain day, the company took 88 people on whale watching trips. there were 44 children aged twelve and under, of which some children were under three years. if x represents the number of children under three years, which equation can be used to find the value of x, where c represents the total amount of money collected from tickets that day?

(44 + x)35 + (88 – (44 + x)) ∙ 46 = c

(88 - x)35 + (88 – 44) ∙ 46 = c

(44 – x)35 + (88 – 44) ∙ 46 = c

(88 + x)35 + (88 – (44 + x)) ∙ 46 = c
explain why?

Adecibel is a logarithmic unit that can be used to measure the intensity of a sound. the function y = 10logx gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity. the reference intensity is generally set at the threshold of hearing. use the graphing utility to graph the decibel function. a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels. use your graph to you complete the following statement. the sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.
