Answer:

<h2>125 tickets for an adult</h2><h2>and 175 tickets for a student</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

a-\text{number of the tickets for an adult}\\s-\text{number of the tickets for a student}\\\\(1)\qquad a+s=300\\(2)\qquad4.5a+3s=1087.5\\------------\\(1)\\a+s=300\qquad\text{subtstitute}\ s\ \text{from both sides}\\a=300-s\\\\\text{Put it to (2):}\\\\4.5(300-s)+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(4.5)(300)+(4.5)(-s)+3s=1087.5\\\\1350-4.5s+3s=1087.5\qquad\text{subtract 1350 from both sides}\\\\-1.5s=-262.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-1.5)}\\\\\boxed{s=175}

\text{Put the value of}\ s\ \text{to (1):}\\\\a=300-175\\\\\boxed{a=125}

What is the x-intercepts of y= -2(x-3)[2]+2?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: (x,y)=(14/4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2(x-3)(2)+2

Clear the brackets

y=-2(2x-6)+2

y=-4x+12+2

y=-4x+14

To get the x-intercept y=0

0=-4x+14

4x=14

x=14/4

(x,y)=(14/4,0)

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The answer would be 10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

By finding the missing base side on the original triangle (which is 18), we add 10 to that number to find the base side on the second triangle. We can then use the equation "sin(21.04) = x/30" to find the missing length side (21.04 is the degree measurement).

Hope this helps :)
