So what we have to do to solve this problem is to write down those values in 2 equations (one that represents what you sold and the other what your friend sold) compare them and find how much each ticket is worth.
First equation : 11x + 8y = 158
Where x = how much each adult ticket is
and y = how much each student ticket is

The second equation is : 5x + 17y = 152

Using the method of substitution , we can compare each equation side by side:
11x + 8y = 158
5x + 17y = 152
Now we need to set one of the variables of both equations so they are equal:
11(5)x + 8(5) = 158(5)
5(11)x + 17(11)x = 152(11)

55x + 40y = 790
55x + 187y = 1672

Then we subtract the second equation by the first one

55x-55x + 187y - 40y = 1672 - 790
147y = 882
y = 6
The we apply y to one of the equations to discover x :
11x + 8y = 158
11x + 8(6) = 158
11x + 48 = 158
11x = 110
x = 10

So the awnser is :
Each adult ticket (x) is $10
And each student ticket (y) is $8
I hope you understood my explanation,

Integral of cosecx dx =log|tanx/2| show that.​
Pie

ANSWER:

Let t = logtan[x/2]

⇒dt = 1/ tan[x/2] * sec² x/2 × ½ dx

⇒dt = 1/2 cos² x/2 × cot x/2dx

⇒dt = 1/2 * 1/ cos² x/2 × cosx/2 / sin x/2 dx

⇒dt = 1/2 cosx/2 / sin x/2 dx

⇒dt = 1/sinxdx

⇒dt = cosecxdx

Putting it in the integration we get,

∫cosecx / log tan(x/2)dx

= ∫dt/t

= log∣t∣+c

= log∣logtan x/2∣+c where t = logtan x/2

X + 2x + 7 = 3x - 7<br> How do you solve this?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer and explanation:

<em>To solve this, you must find what x equals</em>

x + 2x + 7 = 3x - 7 <em>Add together any numbers that can be added on their side</em>

3x + 7 = 3x - 7  <em>Then subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x alone</em>

3x = 3x - 14 <em> Then subtract 3x from both sides to get x</em>

<h3><em>*The x's cancel each other out so you must have typed the equation wrong. Please check to see any mistakes you may have made*</em></h3>

Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 24 persons on an airplane that can seat only 22. (Past studies have revealed that onl
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

B. no, it is not low enough

A. no, it is not low enough

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 24 persons on an airplane that can seat only 22.

Prob for  a random person booked arrive for flight = 0.86

No of persons who books and arrive for flight, X is binomial, since there are two outcomes and each person is independent of the other

The probability that if Air-USA books 24 persons, not enough seats will be available

= P(X=23)+P(x=24)

= 0.1315

B. no, it is not low enough

-------------------------------

The prob we got is >10% also

A. no, it is not low enough
