Answer:
42 child and 70 adult
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of adult tickets
c = number of child tickets
a+c = 112
2.25a + 1.75c = 231
Solve the first equation for a
a = 112-c
Substitute this into the second equation
2.25(112-c) + 1.75c = 231
Distribute
252 - 2.25c +1.75c = 231
Combine like terms
252 -.5c = 231
Subtract 252 from each side
252-252 -.5c = 231-252
-.5c = -21
Divide each side by -.5
-.5c/-.5 = -21/ -.5
c = 42
Now can find a
a = 112-c
a = 112-42
a = 70
Answer:
x>22
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality:
-3x<-14-52
-3x<-66
x>22
( You have to switch the sign because you are dividing by a minus)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
Remember: sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180
so to find x we use this equation
180 = 90 + 7x + 5 + 9x + 5 ( the little square in the triangle indicates that the angle is a right angle. right angles have a measure of 90 so that's where the 90 came from.)
now we solve for x
step 1 combine like terms
90 + 5 + 5 = 100
7x + 9x = 16x
now we have 180 = 16x + 100
step 2 subtract 100 from each side
180 - 100 = 80
100 - 100 cancels out
now we have 80 = 16x
step 3 divide each side by 16
80/16 = 5
16x/16=x
we're left with x = 5
Finally we plug in 5 into x for angle a
7(5)+5
7*5=35
35+5=40
so we can conclude that the measure of angle A is 40 degrees
Answer:
the third option
Step-by-step explanation:
what does that mean ?
to "rationalize" it is to transform it into a rational number (that is a number that can be described as a/b, and is not an endless sequence of digits after the decimal point without a repeating pattern).
a square root of a not square number is irrational (not rational).
so, what this question is asking us to get rid of the square root part in the denominator (the bottom part).
for this we need to multiply to and bottom with the same expression (to keep the whole value of the quotient the same) that, when multiplied at the bottom, eliminates the square root.
what can I multiply a square root with to eliminate the square root ? the square root again - we are squaring the square root.
so, what works for 9 - sqrt(14) as factor ?
we cannot just square this as
(9- sqrt(14))² = 81 -2sqrt(14) + 14
we still have the square root included.
but remember the little trick :
(a+b)(a-b) = a² - b²
without any mixed elements.
so, we need to multiply (9-sqrt(14)) by (9+sqrt(14)) to get
81-14 = 67 which is a rational number.
therefore, the third answer option is correct.
