Answer:

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the initial ratio of 15 tickets in half an hour, you can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to find the amount of time it would take to sell 270 tickets:

$\frac{tickets}{time}=\frac{15}{0.5}=\frac{270}{x}$

Where 'x' is the amount of time to seel 270 tickets.

Cross-multiply: 0.5(270) = 15x or 135 = 15x

Divide: 15x/15 = 135/15 or x = 9 hours

The sum of two integers is 9 and the sum of their squares is 53. Find the integers.

Schach [20]

X + y = 9 Subtract x from both sides.
y = 9 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 53
x^2 + (9 - x)^2 = 53 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 81 - 18x + x^2 = 53 Collect the like terms on the left.
2x^2 - 18x + 81 = 53 Subtract 53 from both sides.
2x^2 - 18x + 81 - 53 = 0
2x^2 - 18x + 28 = 0 This factors, but you can see it much easier if you pull out 2 as a common factor.
2(x^2 - 9x + 14) = 0
2(x - 2)(x - 7) =0 You could divide by 2 on both sides. But you can also leave it.
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
If x = 2 then y = 7
If x = 7 then y = 2

Find the solution to the system of equations below (you can do this by substitution or elimination).

rewona [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

y=6+4x, as equation (iii)

=> -5x-(6+4x)=21

=> -5x-6-4x=21

=> -5x-4x-6=21

=> -9x-6=21

=> -9x=21+6

=> -9x=27

x= -3, by dividing both sides by -9

So, by inserting x in the first equation,

=> -4(-3)+y=6

=> 12+y=6

=> y=6-12

=> y= -6.

Therefore, x= -3 and y= -6
