We will be dealing with a system of equations and we'll find the answer by using elimination.
M= members and N= non-members
M+N=353
2.75M+6.50N=1762
We can eliminate M by multiplying the first equation by -2.75.
-2.75m-2.75n=-970.75
2.75m+6.50N=1762
3.75n=791.25
Now divide
791.25/3.75=211
So there was 211 non-member tickets. All we have to do to find the number of member tickets is replace n with its value.
211+m=353
353-211=m=142
There are 142 member tickets. To check our answer, let's put both values in for the second equation.
2.75(142)+6.50(211)
390.50+1,371.50
1762
So, there were 142 members and 211 non-members that came to the play.

Answer:

x=\frac{7}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-\frac{1}{5} =\frac{7}{3}

5x - \frac{3}{15}  = \frac{35}{15}

5x - \frac{3}{15}  + \frac{3}{15} = \frac{35}{15}  + \frac{3}{15}

5x=\frac{35}{15}

\frac{5x}{5} } =\frac{\frac{35}{15}}{5}

x=\frac{7}{15}

You are designing the garden of your dream and you are going to start with a blank canvas. That means killing everything before
Aleks [24]

Answer:

2.5 bottles or 3 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Dimension of lot :

22.5 yds by 20.4 yds

Area of lot = 22.5 * 20.4 = 459 yd²

Volume per bottle of herbicide = 12 fl oz

1.1 fl oz combined with water treats an area of 155 ft²

Number of 1.1 fl oz from 12 fl oz that can be obtained : 12 / 1.1 = 10.90

1 yard² = 9 feet²

459 yard² = (459 * 9) = 4131 feet²

Number of 151 feet² that can be obtained from 4131 feet²

4131 feet² / 155 ft²

= 27.3576 times

= 27.3576 / 10.909

= 2.507

This means he'll have to buy a minimum of 3 bottles if a fraction of a bottle can't be purchased.

a pattern has 14 triangles to every 18 yellow triangles. what is the ratio of yellow triangles to blue triangles?
erma4kov [3.2K]
9:7
Ratios are always simplified so by dividing both 18 and 14 by 2 you get 9 and seven. Because yellow triangles is stated first the 9 is put before the 7 blue triangles.
