Let the number of students who bought tickets be s,
Let the number of adults who bought tickets be a,

Equation 1:

3s \: + \: 8a \: = \: 1000

Equation 2:

s \: + \: a \: = \: 150 \\ s \: = \: 150 \: - \: a

Substitute ( 2 ) into ( 1 ),

3(150 \: - \: a) \: + \: 8a \: = \: 1000 \\ 450 \: - \: 3a \: + \: 8a \: = \: 1000 \\ 5a \: = \: 550 \\ a \: = \: 110

Substitute a = 110 into ( 2 ),

s \: + \: 110 \: = \: 150 \\ s \: = \: 40

Ans: 40 Student Tickets, 110 Adult Tickets

The dimensions of a closed rectangular box are measured as 90 centimeters, 50centimeters, and 90 centimeters, respectively, with
gogolik [260]

Answer:

184 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the rectangular box is expressed as S = 2(LW+LH+WH)

L is the length of the box = 90 cm

W is the width of the box = 50 cm

H is the height of the box= 90 cm

If there are error of at most 0.2 cm in each measurement, then the total surface area using differential estimate will be expressed as shown;

S = 2{(LdW+WdL) + (LdH+HdL) + (WdH+HdW)

Note that dL = dW = dH = 0.2 cm

Substituting the given values into the formula to estimate the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box

S = 2{(90(0.2)+50(0.2)) + (90(0.2)+90(0.2)) + (50(0.2)+90(0.2))

S = 2{18+10+18+18+10+18}

S = 2(92)

S = 184 cm²

Hence, the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box is 184cm²

Kamila [148]
To factor completely 18b - 32, we factor out the common factor of the two terms and divide each of term by the common factor.

18b - 32 = 2(18b/2 - 32/2) = 2(9b - 16)
