Find the slope of the line first:
5x - 2y = -6,
y = (5/2)x + 3;
Since we need a line that's perpendicular, m = - (2/5).
The only equation that has the slope of this m is 2x + 5y = -10;
Answer:
Let's define the variables:
A = price of one adult ticket.
S = price of one student ticket.
We know that:
"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."
1*A + 6*S = $69
"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"
7*A + 7*S = $150
Then we have a system of equations:
A + 6*S = $69
7*A + 7*S = $150.
To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:
A = $69 - 6*S
Now let's replace this in the other equation:
7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150
Now we can solve this for S.
$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150
$483 - 35*S = $150
$483 - $150 = 35*S
$333 = 35*S
$333/35 = S
$9.51 = S
That we could round to $9.50
That is the price of one student ticket.
6 large + 5 small = 127 kg ------------ (1)
2 large + 3 small = 51kg ------------ (2)
<u>(2) x 3 :</u>
6 large + 9 small = 153 ---------------- (2a)
<u>(2a) - (1) :</u>
4 small = 26
1 small = 6.5kg ------------ (sub into equation 1)
6 large + 5 small = 127 kg
6 large + 5(6.5) = 127
6 large + 32.5 = 127
6 large = 127 - 32.5
6 large = 94.5
1 large = 15.75 kg
Answer: The small box weighs 6.5kg and the big box weighs 15.75 kg
Answer:
5/16
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to change the mixed number to an improper fraction to find the reciprocal
3 1/5 = (5*3+1)/5 = 16/5
The reciprocal of 16/5 is found by flipping the fraction
5/16
