Answer: Adult tickets cost 27 dollars while Child tickets cost 16 dollars

Step-by-step explanation: The question clearly states that adult tickets and child tickets are sold for a combined total sales amount. However the combination of adult and child tickets always yield a different sales total depending on the mix of tickets. This implies that both tickets have different amounts attached to them.

For a start, we shall assign an alphabet to each of the unknown ticket values. Let’s assume that adult tickets are represented by letter A, and child tickets are represented by B. If 4 adult and 3 child tickets are sold for 156 dollars, then what we have is

4A + 3B = 156 —————(1)

Also if 3 adult tickets and 4 child tickets are sold for 145 dollars, then what we have here is

3A + 4B = 145 ————-(2)

Now we have a pair of simultaneous equations which are;

4A + 3B = 156 —————(1)

3A + 4B = 145 —————(2)

We shall apply the elimination method to solve for A and B. First of all we shall eliminate the coefficients of A by multiplying equation (1) with 3, and multiplying equation (2) with 4. This now gives us

12A + 9B = 468 ———-(3)

12A + 16B = 580 ———(4)

Subtract equation 3 from equation 4 and we arrive at

7B = 112

(Note that 12A - 12A = 0)

Divide both sides of the equation by 7

B = 16

Having that in mind, we shall now substitute for the value of B = 16 in equation 1.

4A + 3B = 156

4A + 3(16) = 156

4A + 48 = 156

Subtract 48 from both sides of the equation

4A = 108

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

A = 27

Hence, adult tickets are sold for 27 dollars while child tickets are sold for 16 dollars.

-8x+4y=28 solve for y
olga55 [171]
This is how I would do it:
-8x=28-4y divide the entire equation by 4
-2x=7-y Put y back on the left and put x on the right 
y=7-2x.

Leftover Expression
Mumz [18]

The second leftover expression is not o(a+b). It is 6(a + b). I have attached the correct question to depict that.

Answer:

The equivalent expressions are;

8a + 2 and 6a + 6b

Step-by-step explanation:

The two leftover expressions are given as;

2(4x + 1) and 6(a + b)

In algebra, equivalent expressions are simply those expressions which when simplified, give the same resulting expression as the initial one.

Thus simply means expanding or collecting like times to make it clearer.

Now, in our question, like terms have already been collected. This means that to find an equivalent expression, we will just expand the bracket.

Thus;

2(4x + 1) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;

8x + 2

Similarly,

6(a + b) will be expanded by using the 2 outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the bracket. This gives;

6a + 6b

Thus;

The equivalent expressions are;

8a + 2 and 6a + 6b

A line has a slope of 3/7 and a y-intercept of 0. What is it’s equation in slope-intercept form?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

y = 3/7x

Step-by-step explanation:

Well slope-intercept form means this -----> y=mx+b

m = slope

b = y- intercept

In the question given they already telling us the slope (3/7) and the y intercept (0) so to put it into slope intercept form it will be ---> y= 3/7x

* If your y - intercept is zero you don't need to replace it with the b because its zero it means nothing (it has no value)

Hope this helps!!!
