Answer:

Adult Ticket Price = $13

Child Ticket Price = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of adult ticket be "a" and child ticket be "c"

13 adult and 14 child equals $351, so we can write:

13a + 14c = 351

and

2 adult and 7 child equals $117, thus we can write:

2a + 7c = 117

We multiply 2nd equation by (-2) to get:

-2 * [2a + 7c = 117]

= -4a -14c = -234

Adding botht he "bold" equations, we get:

13a + 14c = 351

-4a -14c = -234

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

9a = 117

a = 117/9 = 13

Now to find b, we use the value of a gotten in the first equation:

13a + 14c = 351

13(13) + 14c = 351

169 + 14c = 351

14c = 182

c = 182/14 = 13

Hence,

<em>Adult Ticket Price = $13</em>

<em>Child Ticket Price = $13</em>

In country​ A, the number of highway bridges for the years 2000 to 2005 can be modeled by the equation y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505, w
EleoNora [17]
Given that the number of bridges has been modeled by the function:
<span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
To find the year in which, y=505000 we shall proceed as follows:
From:
</span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
substituting y=505000 we shall have:
505000=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
simplifying the above we get:
0=149(x+1.5)^2-15495
expanding the above we get:
0=149x^2+447x+335.25-15495
simplifying
0=149x^2+447x-15159.8
solving the quadratic equation by quadratic formula we get:
x~8.69771 or x~-11.6977
hence we take positve number:
x~8.69771~8.7 years~9 years
thus the year in which the number will be 505000 will be:
2000+9=2009

Consider functions f and g below.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 7x + 12 - (3x^2 - 4x - 15)  Remove the brackets

f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 7x  + 12 - 3x^2 + 4x + 15

f(x) - g(x) = -9x^2 - 3x^2 - 7x + 4x + 12 + 15

f(x) - g(x) = -12x^2- 3x + 27
