Answer: 61 children attended the musical last night.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that attended the musical last night.

Let y represent the number of adults that attended the musical last night.

The musical charges $3.50 for children's tickets and $5.00 for adults tickets. If the tickets sales totaled $823.50. It means that

3.5x + 5y = 823.5- - - - - - - - - - 1

Last night, twice as many adults attended the musical than children. It means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

3.5x + 5 × 2x = 823.5

3.5x + 10x = 823.5

13.5x = 823.5

x = 823.5/13.5

x = 61

y = 2x = 2 × 61

y = 122

Find the sum and product of the roots. 2x^2 + 6x - 8 = 0
netineya [11]
Suppose you can factorize:

ax^2+bx+c=a(x-r_1)(x-r_2)

Then by expanding the right side, you have

ax^2+bx+c=a(x^2-(r_1+r_2)x+r_1r_2)=ax^2-a(r_1+r_2)x+ar_1r_2

which means in this case, you have to have

\begin{cases}6=-2(r_1+r_2)\\-8=2r_1r_2\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}r_1+r_2=-3\\r_1r_2=-4\end{cases}

An elementary ntimesn scaling matrix with k on the diagonal is the same as the ntimesn identity matrix with _______ exactly one
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

exactly one, 0's, triangular matrix, product and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let us first fill in the gap in the question below. Note that the capitalized words are the words to be filled in the gap and the ones in brackets too.

"An elementary ntimesn scaling matrix with k on the diagonal is the same as the ntimesn identity matrix with EXACTLY ONE of the (0's) replaced with some number k. This means it is TRIANGULAR MATRIX, and so its determinant is the PRODUCT of its diagonal entries.​ Thus, the determinant of an elementary scaling matrix with k on the diagonal is (1).

Here, one of the zeros in the identity matrix will surely be replaced by one. That is to say, the determinants = 1 × 1 × 1 => 1. Thus, it is a a triangular matrix.

Han's garden has an area of 193.75
ycow [4]

Answer:

15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to find area is Length × Width= Area

we have the area and the length, 12.5 × width= 293.75

to find the width, you will have to reverse engineer and divide the area by the length instead.

193.75 ÷ 12.5 =15.5

just to double check, 15.5 × 12.5 = 193.75

the width is 15.5

Find the value of x and the measure of each angle in the parallelogram
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

\angle D= 162\\\\\angle E = 18\\\\\angle F = 162\\\\\angle G = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

By properties of parallelograms we know that opposite are the same so we have

12x=4(x+3)\\\\4(3x)=4(x+3)\\\\3x=x+3\\\\2x=3\\\\x=\frac{3}{2}

so for the angles we have

\angle G=\angle E=12(\frac{3}{2})=18\\\\\angle D=\angle F = 180-\angle G=180-18=162
