Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price for children and adults package be represented with x and y respectively.

For the first week the sum of the package will be as follows:

3x+8y = 126

For the two weeks after:

6x+4y= 108

So, we will be having two equations

3x+8y = 126..... (1)

6x+4y= 108.......(2)

These are simultaneous equations

From equation 1

3x+8y = 126

3x = 126-8y

X = 126-8y/3 ............. (3)

Put equation 3 into 2

6 ( 126-8y)/3 +4y = 108

756-48y/3 +4y = 108

756-48y+12y/3 = 108

Cross multiplying

756-48y+12y= 108×3

756-48y+ 12y = 324

Collecting like terms

756-324 = 48y-12y

432= 36y

Divide both sides by 36

432/36 = 36y/36

y= 12

Substituting y into equation 1

3x+8= 126

3x+96=126

3x= 126-96

3x= 30

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

Hence for each of the packages for children and adults. It will be 10 and 12 respectively.

Simplify the cube root in simplest radical form.<br> 9x374<br> Please help
algol [13]

Answer:

D. xy\sqrt[3]{9y}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt[3]{9x^3y^4}

\sqrt[3]{9}\sqrt[3]{x^3}\sqrt[3]{y^4}

The \sqrt[3]{x^3} cancels out to become x:

\sqrt[3]{9}x\sqrt[3]{y^4}

Split the y^4=y*y^3

\sqrt[3]{9}x\sqrt[3]{y^3}\sqrt[3]{y^1}

\sqrt[3]{y^3} =y

xy\sqrt[3]{9} \sqrt[3]{y}

Put the cube root of y and cube root of 9 together:

xy\sqrt[3]{9y}

I need help with this question about similar triangles
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ RAS and Δ TES are similar triangles, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is, noting that SR = 21 - ST, thus

\frac{ST}{SR} = \frac{TE}{AR} substitute values

\frac{ST}{21-ST} = \frac{8}{6} ( cross- multiply )

6ST = 8(21 - ST)

6ST = 168 - 8ST ( add 8ST to both sides )

14ST = 168 ( divide both sides by 14 )

ST = 12

PLEASE HURRY WILL MARK BRAINIEST THIS IS AN EASY QUESTION
viva [34]

first qn

4/36=1/9

total no. of ways to roll a dice=36

no. of ways to produce 7=3

(1+6=7, 2+5=7, 3+4=7)

no. of ways to produce 11=1

(5+6=11)

there are 4 ways in total. 4/36 simplify it to be 1/9

second qn im not sure but i think its

1/9 x 50 = 50/9 = 5 x (5/9)

round it off to the smaller whole no. which is 5 so i think its 5 times in 50 trials
