Answer:

adult tickets = 17, children tickets = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y the number of adults

Then given that 26 tickets are sold, we can write

x + y = 26 → (1)

Given that ticket cost was $194 we can write

5.5x + 8.5y = 194 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides

y = 26 - x → (3)

Substitute y = 26 - x into (2)

5.5x + 8.5(26 - x) = 194 ← distribute and simplify left side

5.5x + 221 - 8.5x = 194

- 3x + 221 = 194 ( subtract 221 from both sides )

- 3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 9

Substitute x = 9 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 26 - 9 = 17

Hence number of adult tickets sold = 17

number of children tickets sold = 9

To which subset of real numbers does the number 1/5 belong?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that irrational numbers are those real number which cannot be written in \frac{p}{q} form.

Rational numbers are those real numbers which can be written in \frac{p}{q} form.

Inverse property of multiplication is that property in which we write a number in reciprocal form .

Whole numbers starts from 0 and Natural numbers start from 1 and Integers contain both positive and negative numbers.

Hence, \frac{1}{5} belongs to rational numbers sets and inverse property of multiplication sets.

Therefore, Option 'B' and 'C' are correct.

The time it takes to fly from Los Angeles to New York varies inversely as the speed of the plane. If
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: speed is  540 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:   Lets mark speed as v.

Because distenace is same, you can mark   6 h · 900 km/h = 10 h · v

and v = 5400 km / 10 h = 540 km/h.

Or using inverse proportions :   10 h / 6 h  =  v / 900 km/h  .

Before multiplying you turn lastproportion around :

10 h / 6 h = 600 km/ h / v   ,which gives   10 v = 6 · 900 km/h

and result is same

What is the length of one side of 400 sq in
RSB [31]

This is a square, and so all the sides will be the same measurements. Note that you are given an area, so you'll have to root the total area to get a side.

√400 = 20

One side's measurements is 20 in

hope this helps
