6 0

Let x is the price for one ticket in section A and y for section B.
In first week they paid $108 for 6 tickets in section A and 10 tickets in section B.
So,
6x + 10y = 108
And in the following week, they paid $104 for 4 tickets in section A and 12 tickets in section B.
So,
4x + 12y = 104
12y = 104 -4x
y= (104 -4x) /12
now, put this value for y in first equation
6x +10(104 - 4x / 12) = 108
multiplying all terms with 12
72x +10(104 -4x) = 1296
72x + 1040 -40x = 1296
32x = 256
x = 8
So, price for one ticket in section A is $8.

Gary buys a 3 1/2 pound bag of cat food every 3 weeks. Gary feeds his cat the same amount of food each day. Which expression can

Valentin [98]

One expression that Gary can use,where y is the amount of food eaten in a year and x the amount of food eaten in a weeks is:
y=x*52

but we actually know that the cats eat one third of 3 1/2 pounds, that is:

$3\frac{1}{2} * \frac{11}{2} = \frac{7*1}{2*2}= \frac{7}{4}$

So we can substitute this:
y= $\frac{7}{4}*52$

which is y=7*13=91

So we actually know that the cats eat 91 pounds of food a year!

Algebra help? 343 = (x/6) ^2/3

Vladimir79 [104]

I can only assume that you meant, "Solve for x:"

Apply the exponent 3/2 to both sides of this equation. The result will be

3/2

343 = x/6.

Multiplying both sides by 6 isolates x:

3/2

6*343 = x Since 7^3 = 343, the expression for x

can be rewritten as

3/2

6*(7^3) = x which can be further simplified, as follows:

x = 6^(3/2)*7^(9/2), or:

x = 6^(3/2)*7^(8/2)*√7, or

x = 6^(3/2)*7^4*√7
