The student is wrong in not putting a parenthesis between 1/3 and x. An equation of a line has a general equation of y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, most likely 1/3 is the slope and 0 is the y-intercept. However, writing the equation like that seems like the x variable is a denominator and if that is the case the equation will not represent a line already.

Mario buys tickets for either 47 or 57 dollars. He purchases 14 tickets and spends 738 dollars. How many tickets did he purchase
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

6 tickets were purchased at $47

8 tickets were purchased at $57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the tickets purchased at $47 be x

Let the tickets purchased at $57 be y

We can form an equation from the question given which will be:

x + y = 14 ....... i

47x + 57y = 738 ........ ii

From equation i

x = 14 - y ........ iii

Substitute iii into ii

47x + 57y = 738

47(14-y) + 57y = 738

658 - 47y + 57y = 738

Collect like terms

-47y + 57y = 738 - 658

10y = 80

y = 80/10

y = 8

8 tickets were purchased at $57

Note that from i

x + y = 14

x + 8 = 14

x = 14 - 8

x = 6

6 tickets were purchased at $47

What value of n makes the equation true? (2x^9y^n)(4x^2y^10)=8x^11y^20
Komok [63]
Hi there! The answer is n = 10.

(2 {x}^{9}  {y}^{n} )(4 {x}^{2}  {y}^{10} ) = 8 {x}^{11}  {y}^{20}

As you see at the powers of x, we need to add the exponents of the power we when multiply them.
{x}^{9}  \times  {x}^{2}  =  {x}^{9 + 2}  = x {}^{11}

The powers of y work the same way.
{y}^{n}  \times  {y}^{10}  =  {y}^{n + 10}  =  {y}^{20}

Hence, n = 10, since
{y}^{10 + 10}  =  {y}^{20}
