Answer:

320 tickets for 1200 shs and 680 tickets for 800 shs (multiply please)

Step-by-step explanation:

let; x - be the number of 1200 shs tickets.

y - number of 800 shs tickets.

x + y = 1000 tickets........................... eqtn 1

1200x + 800y = 928000 shs.........................eqtn 2

solve the simultaneous equation by elimination by multiplying eqtn 1 by 800 and eqtn 2 by 1 to be able to eliminate (y) when subtracting.

you will get ; -400x = -12800. Cancel out to get x as 320.

use any equation to get y

i used equation 1 ; 320 + y =1000.

subtract 320 from 1000 to get 680.

multiply the number of tickets by their corresponding amount to get the answer as;

1200 sh tickets = 384000 shs

800 sh tickets = 544000 shs.

there goes your answer . you can prove it to see if it adds up. i hope i have been a great help to you.

The number y of hits a new website receives each month can be modeled by y = 4070ekt, where t represents the number of months th

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

<u><em>k = 0.2645</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given model:

y = 4070 $e^{kt}$

y = no. of hits website received = 9000 (in 3rd month)

t= no. of months website has been operational = 3

put in the above equation:

9000 = 4070 $e^{3k}$

$\frac{9000}{4070}$ = $e^{3k}$

$\frac{900}{407}$ = $e^{3k}$

<u><em>Taking natural logarithm on both sides, we get:</em></u>

$ln\frac{900}{407}$ = $ln(e^{3k})$

$ln\frac{900}{407}$ = 3k ln<em>e</em>

ln<em>e</em>=1

$ln \frac{900}{407}$ = 3k

or k = $\frac{1}{3}$ $ln\frac{900}{(407)}$

k = $\frac{1}{3}$ (0.7936)

<em>k = 0.2645</em>

Please help me. Por favorrrrrr

irakobra [83]

The statements that are correct are A and E. A because the y-intercept for y=5x+12 is 12 and the table of values it is 5. E is correct because the rate of change for the table of values is 24 and y=5x+12, it is 5.

In the equilateral triangle XYZ, X is located at (-5, -9) and Z is located at (1, -17). What is the perimeter of Triangle XYZ? a

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Option a. 30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides

so

XY=YZ=XZ

The perimeter of triangle XYZ is equal to

$P=XY+YZ+XZ$

$P=3XZ$

<u><em>Find the distance XZ</em></u>

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

X is located at (-5, -9) and Z is located at (1, -17)

substitute the values in the formula

$XZ=\sqrt{(-17+9)^{2}+(1+5)^{2}}$

$XZ=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$XZ=\sqrt{100}$

$XZ=10\ units$

Find the perimeter

$P=3(10)=30\ units$

Solve the system of equations below by graphing both equations with a pencil

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

System of the equations have been given as,

$y=x+1$ --------(1)

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4$ -------(2)

Substitute the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2),

$x+1=-\frac{1}{2}x+4$

$x+1=-\frac{1}{2}x+4$

$x+\frac{1}{2}x=4-1$

$\frac{3}{2}x=3$

$x=2$

Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (1),

$y=2+1$

$y=3$

By using a graphing utility, graph of the equations that will intersect each other at a point (2, 3).

Therefore, solution of the system of equations will be $(2,3)$ .

Option (C) will be the answer.
