Let the price of a children's ticket be x and the price of an adult's ticket be y. We can form a system of equations to solve this problem.


2x + 3y = 81.22

3x + 2y = 77.18


Lets use elimination to solve the system. First, lets multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 so the x terms will cancel out.


6x + 9y = 243.66

6x + 4y = 154.36


We can then subtract the equations to cancel out the x variable.


6x + 9y = 243.66

-(6x + 4y = 154.36)

(6x-6x) + (9y - 4y) = (243.66 - 154.36)

0 + 5y = 89.30


Finally, we can find the value of y.


5y = 89.30

y = 17.86


Lastly, we can plug in the value of y and solve for x to find the value of the child's ticket.


2x + 3(17.86) = 81.22

2x + 53.58 = 81.22

2x = 27.64

x = 13.82


Therefore, the child ticket costs $13.82 and the adult ticket costs $17.86.

What is the standard form equation of the line shown below?
ch4aika [34]
(-1,1)(1,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (1 - (-1) = 3/(1 + 1) = 3/2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
use either of ur points....(1,4)...x = 1 and y = 4
now sub and find b, the y int
4 = 3/2(1) + b
4 = 3/2 + b
4 - 3/2 = b
8/2 - 3/2 = b
5/2 = b

equation is y = 3/2x + 5/2...but we need it in standard form

y = 3/2x + 5/2
-3/2x + y = 5/2.....multiply both sides by -2
3x - 2y = -5 <==== ur standard form equation

A train is traveling at a constant speed of 90 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel in 10 seconds? Remember that 1 mile
Flauer [41]

Hi

1 mile = 5280 feet  

at  90 mile per hour, you have  5280 *90  = 475 200 feets  

an hour is  60*60 = 3600 second  

so in 1 second the train travel  :  475 200 /3600 = 4752 /36 = 132 feets

so in 10 seconds  :  132*10 = 1320 feets.
