Two high school students are hired to rake leaves .

Jen Butler has been pricing Speed-Pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay $ 79.

xxMikexx [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Price of the adult's ticket = $13

Price of a child's ticket = $ 10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

Cost of train fares for Three adults and four children = $79

Cost of train fares Two adults and three children = $ 56

To Find:

Price of the adult's ticket and the price of a child's ticket =?

Solution:

Let the cost of one adult's ticket be x and

Let the cost of one child's ticket be y

Then

Three adults and four children must pay $ 79 be

3x + 4y = 79-----------------------------------------------(1)

Two adults and three children must pay $56

2x + 3y = 56----------------------------------------------(2)

multiply eq(1) by 2, we get

6x + 8y = 158----------------------(3)

multiply eq(2) by 3, we get

6x + 9y = 168----------------------(4)

Subracting (3) from (4)

6x + 9y = 168

6x + 8y = 158

(-) (-) (-)

------------------------------

0x + y = 10

------------------------------

y=10

Now substitute the value of y in eq (1) to get the value of x

3x + 4(10)= 79

3x + 40 = 79

3x = 79 - 40

3x = 39

x = $\frac{39}{3}$

x= 13

What does a proportion look like?

AURORKA [14]

A proportion looks like this:

$a\div b = c\div d$

It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.

They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.

For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"

You can build the proportion

$5\div 2 = 8\div x$

And then solve it for x:

$\dfrac{5}{2}=\dfrac{8}{x} \iff 5x=16 \iff x = \dfrac{16}{5} = 3.2$

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram R S T U has points (negative 4, 4), (2, 6), (6, 2), and (0, 0). What is the area of paralle

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is;

32 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The coordinates of the parallelogram RSTU = R(-4, 4), S(2, 6), T(6, 2), and U(0, 0)

We note that the area of a parallelogram = Base length × Height

From the drawing of the parallelogram RSTU, we have;

The base length = The length of $\overline {TU}$ = The length of $\overline {SR}$ = √((2 - (-4))² + (6 - 4)²) = 2·√10

The height of a parallelogram is perpendicular to its base length = The line $\overline {VT}$

∴ Where, the slope of the base length = m, the slope of the height = -1/m

The slope, 'm' of $\overline {SR}$ = (6 - 4)/(2 - (-4)) = 1/3

Therefore, the slope of the height = -1/(1/3) = -3

We note that a point on the height is the point 'T', therefore, the equation of the line in point and slope form is therefore;

y - 0 = -3·(x - 0)

∴ y = -3·x

Therefore, the coordinates of the point 'V' is given by the simultaneous solution of the equations of $\overline {SR}$ and $\overline {VT}$

The equation of the line $\overline {SR}$ in point and slope form from the point 'R' and the slope 'm = 1/3' is given as follows;

y - 4 = (1/3) × (x - (-4)) = (1/3) × (x + 4)

y = x/3 + 4/3 + 4 = x/3 + 16/3

y = x/3 + 16/3

We then have the coordinate at the point 'V' (x, y) is given as follows;

-3·x = x/3 + 16/3

-9·x = x + 16

-10·x = 16

x = -16/10 = -1.6

x = -1.6

∴ y = -3·x = -3 × -1.6 = -4.8

y = 4.8

The coordinate at the point, V = (-1.6, 4.8)

The length of the line $\overline {VT}$ = The height of the parallelogram = √((-1.6 - 0)² + (4.8 - 0)²) = 8/5·√10

The height of the parallelogram = 8/5·√10

The area of the parallelogram, A = Base length × Height

∴ A = 2·√(10) × 8/5·√(10) = (16/5) × 10 = 32

The area of the parallelogram, A = 32 square units.
