Given:
63 tickets were sold.
Money collected = $742.
Evening tickets cost $14 each.
Matinee tickets cost $10 each.

Let
x = number of evening tickets sold
y = number of matinee tickets sold

Then
 x + y = 63                (1)
14x + 10y = 742       (2)

From (1), obtain
y = 63 - x                 (3)
Substitute (3) into (2).
14x + 10(63 - x) = 742
4x + 630 = 742
4x = 112
x = 28
y = 63 - 28 = 35

Answer:  28 evening and 35 matinee tickets were sold.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

B. 11/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using algebra.

x = 0.611111...

10x = 6.111111...

10x - x = 6.111111.. - 0.61111111..

9x = 5.5

x = 5.5/9

x = 11/18

How do I solve 1 and 2?
LuckyWell [14K]
H=+15 m
v=+5 m/s
Ball hits the ground when h(t)=-15m
h(t)=-9.8t^2+vt+h
=>
-15=-9.8t^2+5t+15
9.8t^2-5t-30=0
Solve for t, using quadratic formula,
t=-1.513 or t=2.023
reject negative root due to context, so
t=2.023 seconds

2)
h(t)=-16t^2+20t+8
a. height before pitch is when t=0, or h(0)=8
b. highest point reached when h'(t)=-32t+20=0 => t=5/8 seconds
c. highest point is t(5/8)=-16(5/8)^2+20(5/8)+8=47/5=9.4 m
d. ball hits ground when h(t)=0 => solve t for h(t)=0
=> t=-0.3187 seconds or t=1.569 seconds.
Reject negative root to give
time to hit ground = 1.569 since ball was pitched.
