A family is purchasing 17 tickets for a downtown walking tour. Adult tickets are $10, child tickets are $7, and senior tickets a

re $8.50. The total
cost of the tickets is $141.50, and they are purchasing 2 more senior tickets than adult tickets.

Create and solve a system of linear equations to represent this situation. Then select the true statement.


А. The solution to this system is nonviable because it results in a fractional number of tickets.

B. The solution to this system is no viable because it results in a negative number of tickets.

C. The solution to this system is viable.

D. The solution to this system is nonviable because it results in a fractional amount of money.

Answer:

А. The solution to this system is nonviable because it results in a fractional number of tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets, y represent the number of child ticket and z represent the number of senior ticket.

Since the number of purchased ticket is 17, hence:

x + y + z = 17         (1)

The total cost of tickets is $141.50, hence:

10x + 7y + 8.5z = 141.5       (2)

they are purchasing 2 more senior tickets than adult tickets, therefore:

x = z + 2        (3)

Solving equation 1 2 and 3 simultaneously gives:

x =17/3, y = 23/3, z = 11/3

Therefore the solution to this system is nonviable because it results in a fractional number of tickets.

BlackZzzverrR [31]
Equation required for this question:

an • 1.072^n = 14,580

Where a = payment every half year and n = number of half years

There are 12 half years in 6 years.

Therefore n = 12, substitute this.

12a • 1.072^12 = 14,580

12a = 14,580 / 1.072^12

12a = 6,330~

a = 527.5 ~

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

10.67% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find percent increase with (difference/original) x 100

7.47 - 6.75

= 0.72 (difference)

(0.72/6.75) x 100

= 10.67% increase

A construction worker is filling a container in the shape of a right circular cylinder with cement. the container has a base dia
kirza4 [7]

The volume of this container is 5990 feet³.

<h3>How to calculate the volume?</h3>

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

π = 3.14

r = radius = 17.5/2 = 8.75

h = 24.5

The volume will be:

= πr²h

= 3.14 × 8.75² × 24.5

= 5990 ft³

Therefore, the volume of this container is 5990 feet³.

Which sequence of transformations will produce similar but not congruent figures?
alexgriva [62]
Well, anything that's rotated (turned), reflected (flipped), or translated (moved) is still the same shape of the same size, so the new figures would be congruent with the originals. Dilation, however, is when the shape stays the same but the size changes, so when a figure is dilated, it's not congruent, just similar. 2 out of the 4 are dilated, so those ones would be the answer.
