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.

The time spent to travel a certain distance varies inversely as a car's speed. If it takes 5½ hours to travel a certain distance
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.6h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • So it takes 5.5 hours going at a speed of 60 miles per hour, multiply these two and we get a distance of 330 miles
  • Use this distance to find the time if speed is 50 miles per hour, so time is derived by dividing the distance by the speed
  • 330 miles divide by 50 miles per hour gives 6.6 hours
