1. For the Summer R&B/Soul Festival, there is one price for students, one for adults, and another for senior citizens. The J

ackson family bought 3 student tickets and 2 adult tickets for $104. The Williams family bought 5 student tickets, 1 adult ticket, and 2 senior citizen tickets for $155. The Mullins family bought 2 of each for $126. a. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the cost of each ticket. b. Solve the system by elimination to find the cost of each ticket.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call student tickets s, adult tickets a and senior tickets c.  The equations for each family are as follows:

Jackson:  3s + 2a = 104

Williams:  5s + 1a + 2c = 155

Mullins:  2s + 2a + 2c = 126

To get started, let's solve the Jackson family equation for a:

2a = 104 - 3s so

a = 52 - 1.5s

Now we can use that a value in the Williams equation:

5s + 1(52 - 1.5s) + 2c = 155 and

5s + 52 - 1.5s + 2c = 155 and

3.5s + 2c = 103

We can also use that a value in the Mullins equation:

2s + 2(52 - 1.5s) + 2c = 126 and

2s + 104 - 3s + 2c = 126 so

-1s + 2c = 22

Solve the system that is in bold print now by multiplying the Mullins equation through by -1 to get a new system that looks like this:

  3.5s + 2c = 103

       1s - 2c = -22

The c's eliminate each other leaving us with only s's:

4.5s = 81 so

s = 18

The cost of a student ticket is $18.  Now use that $18 in place of s in the first bold equation above:

3.5(18) + 2c = 103 and

63 + 2c = 103 and

2c = 40 so

c = 20

The cost of a senor ticket is $20.  Now use both of those values in the Williams equation at the beginning to solve for a:

5(18) + 1a + 2(20) = 155 and

90 + 1a + 40 = 155 and

1a = 25

The cost of an adult ticket is $25

How many quarter pound burgers can george make out of 3 1/2 pounds of ground beef ?
lana [24]
Assuming that there is no wastage of beef. 

Note that 3 1/2 = 7/2 = 14/4 = 14 * 1/4 
This means that we can have 14 sets of quarter pound beef. 

This in turn means that George can make 14 quarter pound burgers.

Which rule can be used to describe the growth of the y vales of the function y=12^x over each interval from x=-1 to x=3?
valentinak56 [21]
The function is f(x)=12^x. 

This means that as we get from 1 to 2, we have the following values:

f(1)=12^1=12, and f(2)=12^2=12\cdot12.

Similarly, if we check x=3, we have f(3)=12^3=12\cdot12\cdot12.


We can see that as x changes by 1 (with greater values), y increases by a factor of 12.


Answer: multiply by 12
