3x+y=470
x+y = 292
2x = 470-292 = 178
178/2 = x
x= 89
292 - 89 = y
y = 203
adult tickets = 89
student tickets = 203

The battery on McKenzies old computer can last 4(1/5) hours. She bought a new computer that has a battery that can last 40% long

Answer:

$5\frac{22}{25}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$4\frac{1}{5}\ hours=\frac{4*5+1}{5}=\frac{21}{5}\ hours$

$100\%+40\%=140\%=\frac{140}{100}$

Let

x ------> new battery life

The equation that represent this situation is

$x=\frac{140}{100} (\frac{21}{5})=\frac{2,940}{500}\ hours$

convert to mixed number

$\frac{2,940}{500}=\frac{2,500}{500}+\frac{440}{500}=5\frac{22}{25}\ hours$

A+2/a-5÷a+1/a2-8a+15

krok68 [10]

For $A+\frac{2}{a}-\frac{5}{a}+\frac{1}{a^2}-8a+15$

Combine the fractions $\frac{2}{a} - \frac{5}{a} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:\frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c} \ \textgreater \ \frac{2-5}{a}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:2-5=-3 \ \textgreater \ \frac{-3}{a}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\ \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b} \ \textgreater \ -\frac{3}{a}$

Therefore our final answer is $A-\frac{3}{a}+\frac{1}{a^2}-8a+15$

Hope this helps!
