Answer: 300 adults and 450 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults be x and the number of students be y , then

x + y = 750 ........................... equation 1

the cost of a ticket for adult is $2.50 , that means for x adults , the cost is $2.50x . Also , the cost of ticket for student is $1 , this means that the cost of ticket for y students is $y , writing this in equation form , we have

2.5x + y = 1200 ............................ equation 2

Therefore : the system of linear equations that can be used to find how many adults and how many students attended the concert is

x + y = 750

2.5x + y = 1200

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method , from equation 1 make x the subject of the formula , that is

x = 750 - y ....................... equation 3

substitute x = 750 - y into equation 2 , that is

2.5 ( 750 - y ) + y = 1200

1875 - 2.5y + y = 1200

1875 - 1.5y = 1200

1.5y = 1875 - 1200

1.5y = 675

y = 675/1.5

y = 450

substitute y = 450 into equation 3 , we have

x = 750 - y

x = 750 - 450

x = 300

Therefore , 300 adults and 450 children entered

A plane is traveling at a constant speed of K miles per hour. Which coordinate is
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane is travelling at a constant speed = K miles per hour

K = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

Distance = k(Time)

For Time of traveling = 1 hour

Distance traveled = k × 1

                              = k miles

Therefore, k miles will be traveled in one 1 hour and ordered pairs of the given point on the line will be (1, k)

Option (A) will be the correct option.

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Given:

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.

Kitchen cupboard widths are 60 cm.

To find:

The number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Solution:

Let x be the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres.

Width of 1 cupboard = 60 cm

Width of x cupboards = 60x cm

We know that, 1 m = 100 cm.

Width of a kitchen = 4.2 metres

                              = 4.2×100 cm

                              = 420 cm

Now, the width of the x cupboards is equal to width of the kitchen.

60x=420

x=\dfrac{420}{60}

x=7

Therefore, the number of kitchen cupboard that will fit in 4.2 metres is 7.

-12x - 12y = 4 3x + 3y = 0
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

no Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x-12y=4\\ 3x+3y=0

12x-12y=4

add 12y to both sides

12x-12y+12y=4+12y

divid both sides by -12

\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{4}{-12}+\frac{12y}{-12}

simplfy

x=-\frac{1+3y}{3}

\mathrm{Substitute\:}x=-\frac{1+3y}{3}

\begin{bmatrix}3\left(-\frac{1+3y}{3}\right)+3y=0\end{bmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix}-1=0\end{bmatrix}
