Answer:
The price of an adult ticket is $9 and the price of a student ticket is $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a system of equations where x is the price of an adult ticket and y is the price of a student ticket:
2x + 7y = 60
3x + 11y = 93
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2, to cancel out the x terms:
6x + 21y = 180
-6x - 22y = -186
Add them together:
-y = -6
y = 6
Then, plug in 6 as y into one of the equations to solve for x:
2x + 7y = 60
2x + 7(6) = 60
2x + 42 = 60
2x = 18
x = 9
So, the price of an adult ticket is $9 and the price of a student ticket is $6

Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
Greetings!To find the length of any side of a
right triangle, you can use the
Pythagorean Thereom. It states that the squares of two sides are equal to the square of the hypotenuse:
Input the information from the diagram into the formula:
Expand each term:



Combine like terms:
Add -169 to both sides:

Factor out the Common Term (2):
Factor the Complex Trinomial:



Set Factors to equal
0:


or


However, since we are solving for the side length, the only possible answer is 5 (a shape can't have a side with a negative length.)
The Solution Is:

I hope this helped!
