At a carnival, food tickets cost $2 each and ride tickets cost $3 each. A total of $1,240 was collected at the carnival. The num

ber of food tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of ride tickets sold.
The system of equations represents x, the number of food tickets sold, and y, the number of ride tickets sold.

2x + 3y = 1240

x = 2y – 10

How many of each type of ticket were sold?

The given equations satisfy the given conditions. There are 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so a certain solution can be found.

This can be solved using substitution,

Substituting eqn 2 to eqn 1:

2(2y – 10) + 3y =1240

Simplifying,

y = 180

x = 350

HELP!!<br> can someone lease help me with #11 and #12
Fiesta28 [93]

11. The two angles are vertical angles, which mean they are equal to each other.

14x - 5 = 13x

Add 5 to both sides:

14x = 13x + 5

Subtract 13x from both sides:

x = 5

12.  The two angles are supplementary and when added together need to equal 180 degrees.

5x -20 + 3x = 180

Combine like terms:

8x -20 = 180

Add 20 to both sides:

8x = 200

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 200 /8

x = 25

Simplify  ( √ 5 ) ( 3 √ 5 )
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

5^\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{5} can be represented as 5^{\frac{1}{2}} and \sqrt[3]5} can be represented as 5^{\frac{1}{3}}. Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as:

5^{\frac{1}{2}}*5^{\frac{1}{3}}

The rule for multiplying two exponents with the same base is you add the exponents. For example: x^m*x^k=x^{m+k}

We can use the same property to get:

5^{\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3}}

which is just 5^\frac{5}{6} after you add the fractions

Prove that for any natural n the number 3^(n+4)−3^n is divisible by 16.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Proved (See Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16.

This is done as follows

\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16}

From laws of indices;

aᵐ⁺ⁿ = aᵐ * aⁿ.

So, 3ⁿ⁺⁴ can be written as 3ⁿ * 3⁴.

\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16} becomes

\frac{3^n * 3^4 - 3^n}{16}

Factorize

\frac{3^n(3^4 - 1)}{16}

\frac{3^n(81 - 1)}{16}

\frac{3^n(80)}{16}

3ⁿ * 5

5(3ⁿ)

<em>The expression can not be further simplified.</em>

<em>However, we can conclude that when 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16, because 5(3ⁿ) is a natural whole number as long as n is a natural whole number.</em>
