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.

Hello:
(poq)(x) = p(q(x))=  p(x-3) = 2(x-3)²-4(x-3) = 2(x²-6x+9)-4(x-3)

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The line of best fit is not reasonable because it has more points below it than above it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that there are a total of seven points in the scatter plot and there are five of the points below the line of best fit and just two above the line.

Of the five points below the line of best fit, four are just about touching the underside of the line while one of the two points above the line is just about touching the line.

The proper positioning of the line can be reviewed, therefore, with a line drawn through the four points presently touching the underside of the line of best fit.
