Answer:

Senior citizen tickets = 9

Student tickets = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by converting the question into simultaneous linear equations;

Senior citizen tickets = a

Student tickets = b

4a + 6b = 96

8a + 13b = 202

to find a,

if 4a +6b = 96

a = 96/4 - 6b/4

a = 24 - 1.5b

We now substitute this into the second equation

8(24 - 1.5b) + 13b = 202

192 - 12b + 13b = 202

b = 202 - 192

b = 10

We now put the value of b in either equation

4a + 6b = 96

4a + 6(10) = 96

4a + 60 = 96

4a = 96 - 60

4a = 36

a = 9

Which is closest to the total surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 inches and a height that is equal to its diameter?
Pie
For this case, the surface area of the cylinder is given by:
 A = 2 * pi * r * h + 2 * pi * r ^ 2
 Where.
 r: cylinder radius
 h: cylinder height
 Substituting values we have:
 A = 2 * 3.14 * 5 * (2 * 5) + 2 * 3.14 * 5 ^ 2
 A = 471
 Answer:
 
The total surface area of the cylinder is:
 
A = 471

If y varies inversely as x and y = 27 when x = 12 , find x when y = - 9 .
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

x = - 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 27 when x = 12, then

k = yx = 27 × 12 = 324, thus

y = \frac{324}{x} ← is the equation of variation

When y = - 9, then

- 9 = \frac{324}{x} ( multiply both sides by x )

- 9x = 324 ( divide both sides by - 9 )

x = - 36
