The number of kids in your group is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of people = 20

Cost of each kid ticket = $4

Cost of each adult ticket = $6

Total spent = $96

Let,

x be the number of kids ticket

y be the number of adult ticket

According to given statement;

x+y=20 Eqn 1

4x+6y=96 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

$4(x+y=20)\\4x+4y=80\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(4x+6y)-(4x+4y)=96-80\\4x+6y-4x-4y=16\\2y=16$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{16}{2}\\y=8$

Putting y=8 in Eqn 1

$x+8=20\\x=20-8\\x=12$

The number of kids in your group is 12.

Do all graphs of proportional relationships include the point (0, 0)? Explain.

No. For example, if I gave you the equation y= 3x+5, the y-intercept will be at (0,5), eliminating the (0,0).

Determine if the equation y = 2/5 x − 4 y=25x-4 represents a proportional relationship. If so, determine the constant of proport

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The linear equation represents a proportional relationship and its constant of proportionality is $k = \frac{2}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship exists when the following relationship is observed:

$u = k\cdot v$

Where:

$u$ - Dependent variable.

$v$ - Independent variable.

$k$ - Proportionality constant.

If $y =\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 4$ and $v = x$ and $u = y+4$ , the following expresion is found:

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x -4$

$y + 4 = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x$

$u = \frac{2}{5}\cdot v$

The linear equation represents a proportional relationship and its constant of proportionality is $k = \frac{2}{5}$ .

Which sequences of transformations will map circle<br><br> M onto circle N?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

1: Reflect M across the x-axis

2: Dilate about the center by 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for M and N

Required

Which maps M to N

The coordinates of the radius of the circles are:

$M = (5,5)$

$N = (5,-5)$

And the radius of circles are:

$r_M=2$

$r_N=3$

The first transformation from M to M' is:

- Reflect across the x-axis

The rule is:

$(x,y) \to (x,-y)$

$M(5,5) \to M'(5,-5)$

<em>At this point, M' and N now have the same center but different radius.</em>

The second transformation from M' to N is:

- Dilate about the center by dividing the radius of N by the radius of M

i.e.

$k =\frac{r_N}{r_M}$

$k =\frac{3}{2}$

<em>At this point, M has been completely mapped to N.</em>
