Create formulas!

x=number of adult tickets

y=number of student tickets

x+y=644  <em>total sold</em>

56+y=x    <em>student was 56 less than adult</em>

Perform substitution

(56+y)+y=644

56+2y=644

2y=588

y=294

Substitute y into the formula we created

x+294=644

x=350

350 adult tickets were sold.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adult tickets.

Number of student tickets = 56 fewer than adult tickets

                                            = x - 56

Total tickets  = 644

x + (x - 56) = 644

x + x - 56 = 644

2x - 56 = 644

Add 56 to both sides

2x - 56 + 56 = 644 + 56

2x = 700

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 700/2

x = 350

350 adult tickets were sold

A walker and a cyclist are 45 miles apart. They move towards each other with speeds of 5 mph and 10 mph respectively. In how man
Ymorist [56]

Answer: they will meet after 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of hours it will take them to meet.

A walker and a cyclist are 45 miles apart. If they move towards each other, in t hours, they would have covered a total of 45 miles

Distance = speed × time

They move towards each other with speeds of 5 mph and 10 mph respectively. It means that the distance covered by the walker in t hours is 5 × t = 5t

Also, the distance covered by the cyclist in t hours is 10 × t = 10t

Since the total distance covered us 45 miles, then

5t + 10t = 45

15t = 45

t = 45/15

t = 3 hours

Answer:

y=2x^{2} -7x-4

three linear equations

c=-4 ;4a+b=1 ; 9=a-b

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply assume a standard parabola equation y=ax^{2} +bx +c

(here a, b, c are three independent variables)

Three coordinates as shown in graph are (0,4), (4,0) ,(-1,5)

Now put these points in the equation of parabola and get three linear equations.

[1] c=-4

[2] 4a+b=1

[3] 9=a-b

 Now substitute value of a from equation 2 into 3 in terms of b

 a=  \frac{1-b}{4}

 9=\frac{1-b}{4}-b

 b=-7

 a=2

y=2x^{2} -7x-4
