Answer:

<u>Admission prices are $3 per child and $4 per adult.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the admission prices for children = x and for adults = y

When the pool had 10 children and 37 adults, which brought in $178

10x + 37y = 178 ⇒(1)

When the pool had 15 children and 23 adults, which brought in $137

15x + 23y = 137 ⇒(2)

Multiplying eq.(1) by 3 ⇒ 30x + 111y = 534 ⇒(3)

Multiplying eq.(2) by 2 ⇒ 30x + 46y = 274 ⇒(4)

Find eq.(3) - eq.(4)

∴ 111y - 46y = 534 - 274

∴ 65y = 260

∴ y = 260/65 = 4

By substitution with y at eq.(1)

10x + 37 * 4 = 178 ⇒ solve for x

10x = 178 - 37*4 = 30

∴ x = 30/10 = 3

<u>So, Admission prices are $3 per child and $4 per adult.</u>

In ΔABC, the lengths of a, b, and c are 22.5 centimeters, 18 centimeters, and 13.6 centimeters, respectively.

Given the values of the three sides of the triangle, we can apply the Cosine Law to find the angles of the triangle. Recall that for we can express the value of c through the equation below.

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcosC$

Rearranging this equation, we can find the value ∠C as shown below.

$\cos C = \frac{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}$
$C = cos^{-1} (\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab})$

We can apply the same reasoning for finding the value of ∠B as shown.

$B = cos^{-1} (\frac{a^{2}+c^{2}-b^{2}}{2ac})$

Plugging in the values of the sides (see image attached) from the given. It will now be straightforward to compute for ∠B and ∠C.

$C = cos^{-1} (\frac{22.5^{2}+18^{2}-13.6^{2}}{2(22.5)(18)})$
$C \approx 37.19$

$B = cos^{-1} (\frac{22.5^{2}+13.6^{2}-18^{2}}{2(22.5)(13.6)})$
$B \approx 53.13$

Answer: ∠C = 37.19° and ∠B = 53.13°

The sum of two numbers is 80 If four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 10. Find the t

timama [110]

This can be solved using a system of equations.
$\left \{ {{x+y=80} \atop {x-4y=10} \right. 
$
Subtract y from both sides.
$x=80-y$
Substitute:
$80-y-4y=80-5y=10$
Subtract 80 from both sides:
$5y=70$
Divide both sides by 5:
$y= \frac{70}{5} =14$
Substitute.
$x=80-14=66$
