Answer: the number of adult and student tickets sold are (45, 29)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of student tickets that were sold.

On Wednesday, a total of 74 tickets were sold. This means that

x + y = 74

x = 74 - y- - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

If adult tickets are sold for $15 and student tickets are sold for $11 and the money collected was $994, it means that

15x + 11y = 994- - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

15(74 - y) + 11y = 994

1110 - 15y + 11y = 994

- 15y + 11y = 994 - 1110

- 4y = - 116

y = - 116/ - 4

y = 29

Substituting y = 29 into equation 1, it becomes

x = 74 - 29 = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 16x²

you put the x values one after the other in place of x and do the calculations.

x = -4

y = 16×(-4)² = 16×16 = 256

x = -3

y = 16×(-3)² = 16×9 = 144

x = -2.5

y = 16×(-2.5)² = 16×6.25 = 100

x = -2

y = 16×(-2)² = 16×4 = 64

x = -1.5

y = 16×(-1.5)² = 16×2.25 = 36

x = -1

y = 16×(-1)² = 16×1 = 16

x = -0.5

y = 16×(-0.5)² = 16×0.25 = 4

x = 0

y = 16×0² = 16×0 = 0

x = 0.5

y = 16×0.5² = 16×0.25 = 4

x = 1

y = 16×1² = 16×1 = 16

and so on.

36, 64, 100, 144, 256

as you can see, the y values are the same for the positive and the negative values.

because squaring a negative number is the same as squaring the same positive number. that is, because (if you remember) squaring something means to multiply that something with itself. and minus multiplied by minus is plus, as plus multiplied by plus is plus.

and that creates the symmetry around the y-axis or x = 0. everything left of the y-axis is mirrored on the right side of the y-axis (and vice versa).

monitta

Answer:

$46,053

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Convert 29% into a decimal, which is 0.29.
  2. Multiply $35,700 by 29% as a decimal (0.29), which is 10,353.
  3. Since the keyword is more, we want to add $35,700 and 10,353 (29% of $35,700). The answer will be $46,053.

Weights of different sandwiches in two lengths are shown in the table.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of Sandwiches by Length of Roll

                                        6-inch Roll      12-Inch Roll

Cheese sandwich               \frac{1}{4}                      \frac{3}{4}

Chicken salad sandwich     \frac{3}{4}                     1\frac{3}{4}

Egg salad sandwich            \frac{2}{3}                   1\frac{1}{3}

For cheese sandwich proportion

\frac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{3}{4}}\\24 \neq 16

So, Cheese sandwich weight is not proportional to its length

For Chicken salad sandwich proportion

\frac{6}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{12}{\frac{7}{4}}\\8 \neq \frac{48}{7}

So, chicken salad sandwich is not proportional to its length

For Egg salad sandwich  proportion

\frac{6}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{12}{\frac{4}{3}}\\9=9

So, egg salad sandwich is proportional to its length
