a = adult ticket price

s = student ticket price

---

7a + 2s = 87

---

4a + 6s = 74

4a = 74 - 6s  

a = 74/4 - (6/4)s

a = 37/2 - (3/2)s

---

7a + 2s = 87

7(37/2 - (3/2)s) + 2s = 87

7(37/2) - 7(3/2)s + 2s = 87

(259/2) - (21/2)s + 2s = 87

(21/2)s - 2s = (259/2) - 87

(21/2)s - (4/2)s = 259/2 - 174/2

(17/2)s = 85/2

 

---

s = 85/2(2/17)

s = 85/17

---

Answer:

s = $5

a = $11

Tresset [83]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

This is related to ratios and proportions. We have a 12 foot tree that casts a 6 foot shadow, so now we are trying to figure out how tall is a tree that casts a 4 foot shadow.

We can set an easier method to get this.

12 = 6 (this means the 12 foot tree casts a 6 foot shadow)

x = 4 (this means how tall is the tree to cast a 4 foot shadow, the unknown height of the tree is denoted as x)

Then, we can cross multiply.

48 = 6x

Solve for x, which is the unknown height we are trying to figure out.

x = 8

Solve the following system of equations. Enter the x-coordinate of the solution. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

x = 5.7 and y = 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a system of equation.

5x+2y = 21                                    eq(1)

-2x+6y = -34                                 eq(2)

We have to find the solution of the given system.

Multiplying eq(1) by 3 , we have

15x+6y = 63

Subtracting above equation from eq(2), we have

15x+6y - (-2x+6y) = 63-(-34)

15x+6y+2x-6y = 63+34

17x+0 = 97

17x = 97

x = 97/17

x = 5.706≅5.7

Putting the value of x in eq(1) , we have

5(5.706)+2y = 21

2y = 21-28.53

2y = 7.53

y = 7.53/2

y = 3.765

We have to round it to the nearest tenth

y = 3.8

Hence, the solution of given system is x = 5.7 and y = 3.8

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

x is 5

ST is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure

∵ m is the bisector of the segment SU

→ That means m intersects SU at the midpoint of SU

∵ m ∩ SU at point T

∴ T is the midpoint of SU

→ The midpoint of a segment divides it into two equal parts

∵ The point T divides SU to ST and TU

∴ ST = TU

∵ ST = 9x

∵ TU = 4x + 25

→ Equate them

∴ 9x = 4x + 25

→ Subtract 4x from both sides

∵ 9x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 25

∴ 5x = 25

→ Divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 5

→ Substitute the value of x in ST

∵ ST = 9(5) = 45

∴ ST is 45
