Using a system of equations, it is found that they expect to sell 175 adult tickets and 350 student tickets.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

Variable a: Number of adults that attend.

Variable s: Number of students that attend.

They expect that twice as many students as adults will attend, hence:

s = 2a.

Their goal is to earn $1,500 from ticket sales, hence:

10a + 5s = 1500.

10a + 5(2a) = 1500.

20a = 1500.

a = 1500/20.

a = 175.

s = 2a = 2 x 175 = 350.

They expect to sell 175 adult tickets and 350 student tickets.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area subtract the area of the semicircle from the area of the rectangle.

Although the line isn’t there, if you imagine there is one, then you will see that you form a rectangle which is the same line as the semicircle’s diameter.

The area of rectangle is:

⇒ $A = lw$

⇒ $A = (14)(8)$

⇒ $A = 112cm^{2}$

The area of the semicircle;

⇒ $A = \frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}$

⇒ $A = \frac{1}{2}\pi (7)^{2}$

*Note here that the radius is half the diameter, so it is 7cm, not 14cm

⇒ $A = 76.97cm^{2}$

Finally subtract the two areas;

⇒ $A = 112 - 76.97$

⇒ $A = 35.03cm^{2}$

Lillian is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 5.7% compounded continuously. How much would Lillian need to

Tems11 [23]

Answer: $5156

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The rate of interest is 5.7%

time t=7 years

Amount after 7 years, $A=\$7600$

for compound interest, the Amount is given by

$\Rightarrow A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^T$

Put values

$\Rightarrow 7600=P(1+0.057)^7\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{7600}{(1.057)^7}=5,155.71\\\\\Rightarrow P\approx \$5156$

Solve the equation for y<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7Dx%20%2B%20y%20%3D%203" id="TexFormula1" ti

Elza [17]

multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

2x+3y=9

move variable to the right side and change its sign

2x=9-3y

divide both sides of the equation by 2

x=9/2-3/2y

Write an explicit rule to represent the sequence:

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

b)f(n)=4n+16

Step-by-step explanation:

if n=1

substitute 1 for n in the equation

f(1)=4(1)+16

=4+16

=20

f(2)=4(2)+16

=8+16

=24

And so on
