Answer:

Advance tickets cost $30; same-day tickets cost $35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = the cost of an advance ticket

and s = the cost of a same-day ticket

We have two conditions:

                                                         (1)                  a + s = 65

                                                         (2)        15a + 20s = 1150

Subtract a from each side of  (1)     (3)                       s = 65 - a

Substitute (3) into (2)                         15a + 20(65 - a) = 1150  

Distribute the 20                             15a + 1300 - 20a  = 1150

Combine like terms                                     1300 - 5a = 1150

Subtract 1300 from each side                               -5a = -150

Divide each side by -5                    (4)                     a = 30

Substitute (4) into (1)                                          30 + s = 65

Subtract 30 from each side                                     s = 35

Advance tickets cost $30; same-day tickets cost $35.

Check:

(1) 30 + 35 = 65     (2) 15 × 30 + 20 × 35 = 1150

            65 = 65             450    +    700    = 1150

                                                         1150 = 1150

The graph of the function f(x) = ax2 + bx +C
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The axis of symmetry is  -b/2a

The x-intercept shown is 3 units away from the axis of symmetry.

The other x-intercept also must be 3 units away from the axis of symmetry but on the opposite side.

Subtract 3 from the axis of symmetry.

The other x-intercept is  (-b/2a-3,0)

Two distinct number cubes, one red and one blue, are rolled together. Each number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6.
algol [13]

Answer:

7/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find what values of sum we can have.

The minimum value for a cube is 1, so the minimum value for the sum is 2.

The maximum value for a cube is 6, so the maximum value for the sum is 12.

Now, we find the multiples of 6 and the multiples of 4 between 2 and 12:

4, 6, 8, 12.

To have a sum of 4, we can have the pairs:

(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)

To have a sum of 6, we can have the pairs:

(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)

To have a sum of 8, we can have the pairs:

(2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)

To have a sum of 12, we can have the pairs:

(6,6)

So we have 14 pairs among the 36 (6 possibilities of each cube, so 6*6=36) total possibilities of pairs, so the probability is P = 14/36 = 7/18
