The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 at

the fair. Jermaine spent his money only on ride tickets and fair admission. The price of the fair admission is the same for everyone. Use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets.
(a) Define your variables.
(b) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission.
(c) Explain your answer to Part b.

The total cost is the dependant variable and the number of tickets along with flat out price is the independent variable.

The equation would be y = 1.25x + ?

You would insert 25 for x which equals 31.25 and insert 43.75 for y.

43.75 = 31.25 + ? Then subtract 31.25 from both sides of the equation and you would get....

12.5 = ?

That is your flat rate to get in to the fair

Draw the triangle with vertices a(1, 1), b(5, 3), c(1, 7). find the parametrization, including endpoints, and sketch to check. (
Firlakuza [10]
Part A:

The parametric equations x=x_1+(x_2-x_1)t and y=y_1+(y_2-y_1)t where 0\leq t\leq1 describes the line segment that joins the points (x_1,\ y_1) and (x_2,\ y_2).

The parameterization of the line joining points A(1, 1) and B(5, 3) are given by substituting x_1=1,\ \ y_1=1,\ \ x_2=5,\ \ y_2=3.

Thus, we have

x = 1 + (5 - 1)t = 1 + 4t
y = 1 + (3 - 1)t = 1 + 2t

Therefore, the parameterization of line joining points A(1, 1) and B(5, 3) are x = 1 + 4t and y = 1 + 2t.



Part B:

The parametric equations x=x_1+(x_2-x_1)t and y=y_1+(y_2-y_1)t where 0\leq t\leq1 describes the line segment that joins the points (x_1,\ y_1) and (x_2,\ y_2).

The parameterization of the line joining points B(5, 3) and C(1, 7) are given by substituting x_1=5,\ \ 
y_1=3,\ \ x_2=1,\ \ y_2=7.

Thus, we have

x = 5 + (1 - 5)t = 5 - 4t
y = 3 + (7 - 3)t = 3 + 4t

Therefore, the parameterization of line joining points B(5, 3) and C(1, 7) are x = 5 - 4t and y = 3 + 4t.



Part C:

The parametric equations x=x_1+(x_2-x_1)t and y=y_1+(y_2-y_1)t where 0\leq t\leq1 describes the line segment that joins the points (x_1,\ y_1) and (x_2,\ y_2).

The parameterization of the line joining points C(1, 7) and A(1, 1) are given by substituting x_1=1,\ \ 
y_1=7,\ \ x_2=1,\ \ y_2=1.

Thus, we have

x = 1 + (1 - 1)t = 1
y = 7 + (1 - 7)t = 7 - 6t

Therefore, the parameterization of line joining points A(1, 1) and B(5, 3) are x = 1 and y = 7 - 6t.

4x + 7y = 3 x = y - 2
liberstina [14]

First equate 4x+7y=3x,

we get, x+7y=0 ---->equ 1

Now equate 3x=y-2, we get 3x-y=-2 ----->equ2

solve equ 1,2,

We get x= -7/11, y=1/11

A truck was driven a 140 miles in 3 1/2 hours. If a car is driven the same distance at an average speed of 20 miles an hour fast
densk [106]

Find the speed of the truck:

140 miles / 3.5 hours = 40 miles per hour

The car was 20 miles an hour faster: 40 + 20 = 60 miles per hour.

Divide distance by speed: 140 miles / 60 miles per hour = 2 1/3 hours

Answer: 2 1/3 hours

A pice of lumber 2 1/4 feet long is to be cut into 3 equal pieces. How long will each piece be? Give the measurements in feet an
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: The required length of each piece of wood is  or 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a piece of lumber is  feet long is to be cut into 3 equal pieces.

We are to find the length of each piece of wood in feet and in inches.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

The length of 3 pieces of wood is equal to  

Therefore, the length of each piece of wood will be

Thus, the required length of each piece of wood is  or 9 inches.
