A system of equations is good for a problem like this.
Let x be the number of student tickets sold
Let y be the number of adult tickets sold
x + y = 200
2x + 3y = 490
x = 200 - y
2(200 - y) + 3y = 490
400 - 2y + 3y = 490
400 + y = 490
y = 90
The number of adult tickets sold was 90.
x + 90 = 200 --> x = 110
2x + 3(90) = 490 --> 2x + 270 = 490 --> 2x = 220 --> x = 110
The number student tickets sold was 110.

Heather has divided ​$5400 between two​ investments, one paying 8​%, the other paying 5​%. if the return on her investment is ​$
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

$2500 at 8%.

$2900 st 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested at rate of 8% and y be the amount invested at the rate of 5%.

We have been given that Heather has divided ​$5400 between two​ investments. We can represent this information as:

x+y=5400...(1)

The return on her investment is ​$345.  

Earnings from the investment at 8% will be 8% of x.

Earnings from the investment at 5% will be 5% of y.

(\frac{8}{100})x+(\frac{5}{100})y=345...(2)

0.08x+0.05y=345...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve our system of equations. From equation (1) we will get,

x=5400-y

Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

0.08(5400-y)+0.05y=345

432-0.08y+0.05y=345

-0.08y+0.05y=345-432

-0.03y=-87

\frac{-0.03y}{-0.03}=\frac{-87}{-0.03}

y=2900  

Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2900 at 5%.

Let us substitute y=2900 in equation (1) to solve for x.

x+2900=5400

x+2900-2900=5400-2900

x=2500

Therefore, Heather has invested an amount of $2500 at 8%.

A complex number is a number that can be written in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. In the complex number 4 + 2
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

In the complex number 4 + 2i, 4 is the <em>real </em>part. In the complex number 4 + 2i, 2 is the <em>imaginary </em>part.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two parts of the complex number are called the <em>real</em> part and the <em>imaginary</em> part. The imaginary part is identified by its multiplier of <em>i</em>.

In the given number, the 2 is multiplied by i, so 2 is the imaginary part. The other part, 4, is the real part.

(2x + 3y = 12) x (-2)
(4x - 3y = 6) x 1

-4x - 6y = -24
4x - 3y = 6

You can cancel out the x values by adding the two equations together. 
(-4x + 4x) + (-6y - 3y) = (-24 + 6)
-9y = -18
y = 2

Solve for x now...
4x - 3(2) = 6
4x - 6 = 6
4x = 12
x = 3

Check... (x = 3, y = 2)
2(3) + 3(2) = 12 
6 + 6 = 12
12 = 12 <- this works! 

4(3) - 3(2) = 6
12 - 6 = 6
6 = 6 <- this works!

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

First to solve this get the original amount before his parents gave him $6

20-6=14

So he had $14 after spending it at the batting cages.

It is stated he spent half of his money there so multiply 14 by 2

14 x 2=28

So he has a weekly allowance of $28
