Answer:

The results don't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

"x" is the number of children's tickets

"y" is the number of adult tickets

Thus:

8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259

 x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y

replacing we have:

 8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259

280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259

 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280

0.75 * y = -21

y = -21 / 0.75

y = -28

Thus:

x = 35 - (-28) = 63

With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.

Are the following polygons similar explain

<h3>Answer: No, they are not similar.</h3>

Technically, we don't have enough info so it could go either way.

==========================================================

Explanation:

We can see that the sides are proportional to each other, but we don't know anything about the angles. We need to know if the angles are the same. If they are, then the hexagons are similar. If the angles are different, then the figures are not similar.

Right now we simply don't have enough info. So they could be similar, or they may not be. The best answer (in my opinion) is "not enough info". However, your teacher likely wants you to pick one side or the other. We can't pick "similar" so it's best to go with "not similar" until more info comes along the way.

A survey 3,000 who bought a new car showed that 900 had problems. What is the relative frequency of the people that had problems
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Presuming that "survey 3,000" is the total and "900" is the factor who had problems then dividing the total amount by the amount of problems like equal the relative frequency of people that had problems

Math:

Amount of people you had problems / Amount of people who bought the new car.

900 / 3000 = 0.3

Now you need to multiply by 100% (because % in this case is a unit/measurement)

0.3 * 100% = 30%
