Earl is incorrect

let x be the number of discount tickets sold

then the number of regular tickets sold is 6x

the total tickets sold is 1456, thus

x + 6x = 1456

7x = 1456 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 208

number of discount tickets sold = 208

\frac{1456}{6} ≠ 208

but \frac{1456}{7} = 208

Earl is incorrect , dividing by 7 gives the amount sold

(c) Express the diagonal of a rectangle, D, in terms of its width, w, if the area of the rectangle is 13 square feet.
Mrrafil [7]
We are asked to express the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of the width in which the area of the polygon is equal to 13 square feet. The area of teh rectangle is equal to length times width. That is 13 = lw; diagonal using pythagorean theorem is sqrt ( l2 + w2). Thus d =  sqrt ( (13/w)2 + w2) = sqrt ( (169/w2 + w2) = sqrt ( (169 + w4)/w2) = 1/w  sqrt (169 + w4)

A wall has been built with two pieces of sheetrock, a smaller one and a larger one. The length of the smaller one is stored in t
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The answer is: small+large.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variable of the smaller sheetrock is stored in small:

var small.

And the variable of the larger sheetrock is stored in large:

var large.

The length of the wall will be the sum of the two pieces of sheetrock:

  • small+large

For example:

var small = 5;

var large = 10;

small+large = 5 + 10 = 15 is the length of the wall.

Avery can run at 10 uph. The bank of a river is represented by the line 4x + 3y = 12, and Avery is at (7, 5). How much time does
Reil [10]
The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)

4x+3y=12

3y=-4x+12

y=-4x/3+12/3

So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:

y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so

5=3(7)/4+b

5=21/4+b

20/4-21/4=b

-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:

y=3x/4-1/4

So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank.  When it does y=y so we can say:

(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3  cross multiply

3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)

9x-3=-16x+48

25x=51

x=51/25

x=2.04

y=(3x-1)/4

y=(3*2.04-1)/4

y=1.28

So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2

d^2=38.44

d=√38.44

d=6.2 units

Since he can run at 10 uph...

t=d/v

t=6.2/10

t=0.62 hours  (37 min 12 sec)

So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.
