Does anyone know this one?
butalik [34]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, then the 2 given angles are alternate and congruent, thus

15x - 46 = 9x + 8 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

6x - 46 = 8 ( add 46 to both sides )

6x = 54 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 9 → C

the sum of the first six terms of a geometric series is 21/16 . if the common ratio is -1/2 , what is the first term?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

-84

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of a geometric progression is

Un = ar^n- 1

The sum of the first six terms of a geometric series (U6) = 21/16

Common ratio = -1/2 ,

a = First term ??

21/16 = a × (-1/2 )^6- 1

21/16 = a ×(-2^-1)^5

21/16 = a × -2^-6

Cross Multiply

16 × a × -2^-6 = 21

a = 21/16 × -2^-6

a = 21/16 ×- 1/2⁶

a = 21/16 × -1/64

a = 21 ÷(-1/4)

a = 21 × -4

a = -84

The first term = 84

The graph of a system of equations with the same slope and the same y-intercepts will have no solutions.
Liula [17]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>The graph of a system of equations with the same slope and the same y-intercepts will never have no solutions. Rather, it has an infinite number of solutions since all points of the lines intersects.</span>

Answer:

Adult: 50 tickets

Child: 34 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the amount of adult tickets

Let c be the amount of child tickets

Equation:

a + c = 84

14a + 9c = 1,006

Step 1: Multiply a + c = 84 with -9, to canceled c.

-9 (a + c = 84)    →  -9a - 9c = -756

14a + 9c = 1006 → 14a + 9c = 1006

Step 2: Combined the 2 equation together, and solved it.

-9a - 9c = -756

<u>14a + 9c = 1006</u>

       <u> 5a</u> = <u>250</u>

        5        5

           a = 50

Step 3: Plug 50 into the one of the equation, and solved it.

a + c = 84 → 50 + c = 84

                  <u>-50         -50</u>

                            c = 34

Answer: Adult tickets (a) = 50 and Child tickets (c) = 34

To check the answer plug the two number into the equation ( Make sure to add 50 for a and 34 for c).
