Answer:

he should share 11 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alan has more tickets he transfers a quantity "x" to his brother.

Now Alan has = 41 stickers - "x" stickers that he borrowed

And his brother has now = 19 stickers + "x" stickers that he received from Alan

Since now they have the same number of tickets

Tickets that has Alan = Tickets that has this brother

41 - x = 19 + x

summing x in both sides

41 - x + x = 19 + x + x

41 - 0 = 19 + 2*x

subtracting 19

41 - 19 = 2*x

dividing by 2

22 / 2 = 2*x /2

x = 22/2 = 11

so both will have 30 tickets

If I owe you $1.76 in overtime pay, you receive $19.50 for each hour of OT. How many hours overtime are you owed?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: 0.09 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You are owed $1.76 in overtime pay.

The hourly rate for overtime is $19.50 per hour.

To find the number of hours owed, you need to divide the amount owed by the amount owed per hour.

The number of hours you are owed is therefore:

= Amount owed / Amount owed per hour

= 1.76 / 19.50

= 0.09 hours

Jen Butler has been pricing​ Speed-Pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay $ 132.
laiz [17]
Let a=price of adult ticket
let c=price of a child's ticket
start out by writing the following system of equations:
3a+4c=132
2a+3c=94
then, multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 3 to get the following system of equations:
6a+8c=264
6a+9c=282
subtract the like terms to get the following equation:
-c=-18
divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative to get the price of a child's ticket to be $18. to find the price of an adult ticket, pick one of the original equations to substitute the 18 in for c to find a. for example:
2a+3c=94
2a+3(18)=94
2a+54=94
-54 -54
2a=40
2 2
a=20

or if you decide to use the other equation:
3a+4c=132
3a+4(18)=132
3a+72=132
-72 -72
3a=60
3 3
a=20
either way, you still get an adults ticket to be $20 and a child's ticket to be $18.
