Answer:

The number of child tickets were sold is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price of tickets for child admission = $5.50

The price of tickets for adult admission = $8.60

The total numbers of tickets sold = 137

The total price of tickets sold = $986.00

Let The number of tickets for child = C

The number of tickets for adults = A

So, According to question

A + C = 137

And 5.50 A + 8.60 C = 986

Solve the above equation

5.5 A + 5.5 C = 137 × 5.5

or, 5.5 A + 5.5 C = 753.5

Or, ( 5.5 A + 8.6 C) - ( 5.5 A + 5.5 C) = 986 - 753.5

Or, (5.5 A - 5.5 A) + (8.6 C - 5.5 C) = 232.5

Or, 0 + 3.1 C = 232.5

∴  C = \frac{232.5}{3.1} = 75

And A = 137 - C = 137 - 75 = 62

Hence The number of child tickets were sold is 75. Answer

40+14+16+10

=40+30+10

=80

maximum price is where you choose all the most expensive options

highest deck is 65, highest price of wheels are 36, hardware 20

65+36+16+20

amid [387]

Answer:

x =   \bigg \{\frac{ 2   - \sqrt{2} \: i }{3}, \:  \: \frac{ 2    +  \sqrt{2} \: i }{3} \bigg \}

Step-by-step explanation:

3 {x}^{2}  - 4x =  - 2 \\ 3 {x}^{2}  - 4x + 2 = 0 \\ equating \: it \: with  \\ a {x}^{2}  + bx + c = 0 \\ a = 3 \:  \: b =  - 4 \:  \: c = 2 \\  {b}^{2}  - 4ac \\  =  {( - 4)}^{2}  - 4 \times 3 \times 2 \\  = 16 - 24 \\  =  - 8  \\  \ {b}^{2}  - 4ac < 0  \\  \therefore \: given \: quadratic \: equation \: have \:  \\ imaginary \: solutios. \\  \\ x =  \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{{b}^{2}  - 4ac } }{2a}  \\ =  \frac{ - ( - 4) \pm \sqrt{ - 8} }{2 \times 3} \\ =  \frac{ 4 \pm 2\sqrt{2} \: i }{2 \times 3}  \\  =  \frac{ 2 \pm \sqrt{2} \: i }{3} \\  \therefore \: x  = \frac{ 2   - \sqrt{2} \: i }{3}  \: or \: x  = \frac{ 2   +  \sqrt{2} \: i }{3} \:  \\  \\ x =   \bigg \{\frac{ 2   - \sqrt{2} \: i }{3}, \:  \: \frac{ 2    +  \sqrt{2} \: i }{3} \bigg \}
