Simplify the equation below and find the value of x 4/2x-5)= 20

The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the

PIT_PIT [208]

Part (a)

The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.

Part (b)

The cost of one ticket is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of 18 tickets will be:

$0.75\times 18=13.5$ dollars

Now, we know that Kendall spent her money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that she spent a total of $33.50.

Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $33.50-$13.50=$20

If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:

$y=0.75x+20$ ......Equation 1

Part (c)

The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 0.75x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$20.

Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.

a cylinder with base are 169π ft^2 and a height twice the radius. what is the lateral area and surface area of the cylinder

Morgarella [4.7K]

$Area\ of\ base:A_B=169\pi\ ft^2\\\\A_B=\pi r^2\ \ \ (r-radius)\\\\\pi r^2=169\pi\ \ \ /:\pi\\\\r^2=169\\\\r=\sqrt{169}\\\\r=13\ (ft)\\\\H=2r\to H=2\cdot13=26\ (ft)$

$
lateral\ area:A_L=2\pi rH\\\\A_L=2\pi\cdot13\cdot26=676\pi\ (ft^2)\\\\Surface\ area:A_S=2A_B+A_L\\\\A_S=2\cdot169\pi+676\pi=338\pi+676\pi=1014\pi\ (ft^2)$

3x-1=11 solve for the variable

artcher [175]

First, we should add 1 to both sides to isolate the variable:

3x = 12

Now that x is isolated, we divide by 3:

x = 4

You are considering a certain telephone company. They charge $0.17 per minute of talking, plus a fixed base monthly fee of $40 .

brilliants [131]

Answer:

C = 40 + 0.17M

Step-by-step explanation:

Total monthly charge = Fixed base fee + charge per minute*total number of minutes

C = 40 + 0.17*M

C = 40 + 0.17M

In circle O, the radius is 4, and the length of minor arc AB is 4.2 feet. Find the measure of minor arc AB to the nearest degree

Degger [83]

The formula for arc length is s=r*angle theta where s is the arc length, r is the radius, and angle theta is central angle formed by the arc in radians.

In this case, the angle would be s/r or 4.2/4 which is 1.05 radians. We have to convert this into degrees and so you would multiply 1.05 by (180/pi) which results in approximately 60 degrees. Remember, if you want to convert radians into degrees, the conversion factor is 180/pi and for degrees into radians, it is pi/180.
