Answer:

  • adult: $11
  • children: $7

Step-by-step explanation:

The sales on the two days can be expressed using equations that can be solved for ticket prices.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x and y represent the prices of adult and children's tickets, respectively. Then the sales revenue for the two days can be expressed in the equations ...

  • 5x +7y = 104
  • 7x +3y = 98

<h3>Solution</h3>

One of the easiest solution methods is to use a graphing calculator. The first attachment shows the prices are $11 for an adult ticket; $7 for children tickets.

Using the matrix functions of a calculator, the augmented matrix of the equation coefficients can be reduced to row-echelon form. This, too, shows the solution to be (adult price, children price) = ($11, $7). See the second attachment. (The solution is the right-most column of the reduced matrix.)

Yet another solution method can use the coefficients from the equations written in general form:

  • 5x +7y -104 = 0
  • 7x +3y -98 = 0

In this form, we define three products of "cross multiplication":

  Δ1 = (5)(3) -(7)(7) = -34

  Δ2 = (7)(-98) -(3)(-104) = -374

  Δ3 = (-104)(7) -(-98)(5) = -238

Using those, we find the variable values to be ...

  x = Δ2/Δ1 = -374/-34 = 11

  y = Δ3/Δ1 = -238/-34 = 7

(adult price, children price) = ($11, $7)

Answer:

A = $11; C = $7 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given info, we can create a system of equations to find the price of adult and children tickets.

Thus, we have 5A + 7C = 104 and 7A + 3C = 98

The easiest method to solve would be elimination:

Answer:

T = ±22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0=−16t2+7744

Step 1: Add 16t^2 to both sides.

0+16t2=−16t2+7744+16t2

16t2=7744

Step 2: Divide both sides by 16.

16t2

16

=

7744

16

t2=484

Step 3: Take square root.

t=±√484

t=22 or t=−22

3. One of the graphs represents
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

3x-2y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

Divide each term by −2 and simplify.

y=-3+\frac{3x}{2}

Rewrite in slope-intercept form

y=\frac{3}{2} *-3

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Find the values of m and  b using the form y=mx+b

m=\frac{3}{2}

b=-3

The slope of the line is the value of m, and the y-intercept is the value of b.

Slope: \frac{3}{2}

y-intercept: -3

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding  y values.

Choose 0 to substitute in for x to find the ordered pair.

(0,−3)

Choose 1 to substitute in for x to find the ordered pair.

(1,-\frac{3}{2} )

Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

slope:\frac{3}{2}

y-intercept:-3
