Step 1: Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find.

Let x be the charge/person who are under age 12

Let y be the charge/person who are over age 12, and

Let z be the charge/person who are adults.

Step 2: Based on the information given write mathematical equation

Statement 1: "A family with 2 kids under age 12, 3 kids over age 12, and 3 adults pays $174 for entrance to the park"

For Under Age 12, 1 kid charge $x, so 2 kids under age 12 charge will be $2x.

For Over Age 12, 1 kid charge $y, so 3 Kids over age 12 charge will be $3y.

For Adults, 1 Adult charge $z, so 3 Adults charge will be $3z

Based on the above statement which mentions the number of person in the family and total cost of $174, we can write our 1st equation as

2x + 3y + 3z = 174 ⇒ 1st Equation

Statement 2: "A mother and father bring their 4 kids under age 12 at a cost of $122"

4 kids under 12 will be charged $4x, & 2 Adults (Mother and father) will be charged $2z, and total cost is given as $122.

Based on the above statement 2, we can write the 2nd equation as

4x + 2z = 122 ⇒ 2nd Equation

Statement 3: A grandmother who brings her teenage granddaughter to the park pays $46.

Grandmother will be considered an adult with teenage granddaughter who need to be considered as kid over age 12.

So we can write the third equation as

y + z = 46 ⇒ 3rd equation.

Step 3: Solve the three equation using substitution method

2x + 3y + 3z = 174 ⇒ 1st Equation

4x + 2z = 122 ⇒ 2nd Equation

y + z = 46 ⇒ 3rd equation

Factoring 3 in the left side of the last two terms of 1st equation we get...

2x + 3(y + z) = 174

Then substituting 46 for y + z we get

2x + 3(46) = 174

2x + 138 = 174 { Subtracting 138 on both sides }

2x +138 - 138 = 174 - 138 {Combining like terms on either side of the equation}

2x = 36 {Dividing 2 on both sides}

2x/2 = 36/2 {Simplifying each fraction}

x = 18

Substituting 18 for x in 2nd equation, 4x + 2z = 122

4(18) + 2z = 122

72 + 2z = 122 {Subtracting 72 on both sides of the equation}

72 + 2z - 72 = 122 - 72 {Combining like terms on both sides of the equation}

2z = 50 {Dividing by 2 on both sides}

2z/2 = 50/2 {Simplifying fraction on both sides of equation}

z = 25

Substituting 25 for z in the 3rd equation y + z = 46

y + 25 = 46 { Subtracting 25 on both sides of the equation }

y + 25 - 25 = 46 - 25 {Combining like terms on either side of the equation}

y = 21

Conclusion:

The cost for an Kid who are under age 12 to enter the theme park = $18

The cost for an Kid who are over age 12 to enter the theme park = $21

The cost for an adult to enter the theme park = $25

Jerome tries to find the value of the expression 3 - 6 + 5 by first applying the commutative property he rewrites the expression

Lana71 [14]

Wrong in sign change

How?

In commutative law the sign doesn't change whenever it is applied.

Thus

$\\ \sf{:}\implies 3-6+5$

$\\ \sf{:}\implies 3\underline{+5-6}$

$\\ \sf{:}\implies 8-6$

$\\ \sf{:}\implies 2$

Select the basic integration formula you can use to find the indefinite integral.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$\int \dfrac{du}{u}=\log|u|+C$

$\int u^n du=\dfrac{u^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$

$\int \dfrac{du}{u\sqrt{u^2-a^2}}=\dfrac{1}{a}\csc^{-1}(\dfrac{x}{a})+C$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\int \dfrac{du}{u}=\log|u|+C$ $[\because \int \dfrac{dx}{x}=\log |x|+C]$

$\int u^n du=\dfrac{u^{n+1}}{n+1}+C$ $[\because \int x^n dx=\dfrac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C]$

$\int \dfrac{du}{u\sqrt{u^2-a^2}}=\dfrac{1}{a}\csc^{-1}(\dfrac{x}{a})+C$ $[\because \dfrac{adx}{x\sqrt{x^2-a^2}}=\csc^{-1}(\dfrac{x}{a})+C]$

Which equations results from adding the equations in this system? x+6y=9 -x+2y=-15

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

8y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply add the equations as you would numbers.

The 'x's cancel each other out. The 'y's add together as normal numbers.

9 + (-15) = -6

Hope that this helps!

9 please help with 9 10 what is P

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The probabilities are the same

10.

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the coin is fair;

The probability of getting heads in a single toss is, P(H) = 1/2

The probability of getting tails in a single toss is, P(T) = 1/2

Now, P(H,H,H) is the probability of obtaining 3 heads in the e tosses. Since each toss is independent of the others,;

P(H,H,H) = P(H)*P(H)*P(H)

= 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

On the other hand, P(H,T,H) is the probability of obtaining a head followed by a tail followed by a final head. Using the independence property;

P(H,T,H) = P(H)*P(T)*P(H)

= 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Therefore, P(H,H,H) = P(H,T,H)

10.

We are informed that a coin is tossed and a number cube is rolled. We are to determine the following probability;

P(heads, a number less than 5)

Assuming the coin is fair;

The probability of getting heads in a single toss is, P(H) = 1/2

Assuming the number cube is fair as well, the probability of rolling a number less than 5 is;

4/6 = 2/3

This is because there are 4 numbers less than 5, (1, 2, 3, 4) while the cube has 6 sides.

P(heads, a number less than 5), the events presented here are independent since the outcome from tossing the coin does not in any way determine the outcome from rolling the number cube. Therefore,;

P(heads, a number less than 5) = P(heads)*P(a number less than 5)

= 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3

The difference between two numbers is 5. six times the larger number is 8 times the smaller number. write a system of equations

Ksenya-84 [330]

X - y = 5....x = 5 + y
6x = 8y

6(5 + y) = 8y
30 + 6y = 8y
30 = 8y - 6y
30 = 2y
15 = y

x - y = 5
x - 15 = 5
x = 15 + 5
x = 20

ur 2 numbers are : 20 and 15
