To solve this, we must set up a Systems of Equations problem 
Let's say C stands for Coach seats bought and S stands for sleeper cars bought
Here are our equations we have enough information to make. 
c + s = 93 
115c + 290s = $20,320 
Lets solve for Coach seats first 
To do that we need a value for s 
In the first equation, s = 93 - c
Lets plug that in for S in the second equation 
115c + 290(93 - c) = $20,320 
Distribute and simplify 
115c + 26,970 - 290c = $20,320 
Combine like terms 
-175c + 26,970 = $20,320 
-175c = -6650
divide 
c = \frac{-6650}{-175}
c = 38
We just found out 38 coach seats were bought. 
Plug in 38 for C in this equation ⇒ 115c + 290s = $20,320 to find S
115(38) + 290s = $20,320 
Distribute and Simplify 
4,370 + 290s = $20,320 
290s = $15,950 
Divide 
S = \frac{15950}{290}
S = 55
We just completed the problem!
38 Coach seats were bought and 
55 Sleeper car seats were bought.

Bajo del Gualicho has an elevation of - 72 meters. Lago Enriquillo has an elevation of - 46 meters. Note
Harman [31]

Answer: Bajo del Gualicho has a higher elevation than Lago Enriquillo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in this case the "elevations" are negative because are under sea level, we can call it depth.

In this sense, we are given the "elevations" or depths of two places:

Bajo del Gualicho: -72 m

Lago Enriquillo: -46 m

Keeping in mind we are actually talking about the depth of this places, we can  say Bajo del Gualicho is deeper than Lago Enriquillo, and this is best expressed with the following inequality:

G>E

Where G represents Bajo del Gualicho and E represents Lago Enriquillo.

If a cone with a diameter of 10 m has a surface area of 190.6m2, find its slant height. Round to the nearest tenth.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:  The slant height of the cone is 65.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diameter of a cone = 10 m

Surface area of cone = 190.6 m²

To find: Slant height

Diameter of cone = 10 m

Therefore Radius of cone = \dfrac{\text {Diameter }}{2} = \dfrac{10}{2} =5m

As we know that surface area of a cone is given by

S.A. = \pi r(l+r)

Where S.A. is surface area , r is the radius of cone and l is the slant height of the cone.

Let Slant height = l

So we have

190.6 = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 5 ( 5+l)\\\\\Rightarrow  5+l= \dfrac{190.6 \times 7}{22}\\\\\Rightarrow l=  \dfrac{1334.2}{22}+5\approx 60.64+5 = 65.64\approx65.6

Hence the slant height of the cone is 65.6 m

The average rate of change of a function f(x) = x2 between x = 3 and x = 9 is
masya89 [10]

Answer:

12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change = (value of the function when x = 9 - value when x=3)

/

(9 - 3)

= f(9) - f(3) / (9-3)

= (9^2 - 3^2) / (9-3)

= 72 / 6

=  12.
