Answer:
The price of 1 adult ticket is 12 dollars, and the price of a ticket for one student is 7 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations for the two days that the play was shown.
Let x = the price of an adult ticket
Let y = the price of a student ticket
For the first day:
<h3>9x+8y=164</h3>
For the second day:
<h3>2x+7y=73</h3>
Now, we can solve using the elimination method. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 9. Then swap the order of the equations.
<h3>18x+63y= 657</h3><h3>-</h3><h3>18x+16y= 328</h3><h3>0x+ 47y= 329</h3><h3>divide both sides by 47</h3><h3>y = 7</h3><h3>Plug in 7 for y for the 2nd equation</h3><h3>2x+7(7)=73</h3><h3>2x+49=73</h3><h3>subtract 49 from both sides</h3><h3>2x= 24</h3><h3>divide both sides by 2</h3><h3>x = 12 </h3><h3>Check:</h3><h3>2(12)+7(7)=73</h3><h3>24+49= 73!</h3>
117,150
5% of 71,000 is 3,550, 3,550 c 13(years) = 46,150(what the company will add to his salary) 71,000 + 46,150 = 117,150
So if you subtract the 0 out from the left side, the equation is now
. Since a x is common in both of the terms on the left side, you can factor it out, now making the equation look like
. When factoring, each of the separate things (x and (x-3)), must equal zero while the other one doesn't matter. So in order for the equation to be 0, the only potential options for x is 0 and 3. Therefore x=0 and x=3 are the two solutions
(x + 3) (x + 2) = 0
To solve it, the most appropriate technique is:
1.) zero product property
The solutions are:
(x + 3) = 0
x = -3
(x + 2) = 0
x = -2
x² + 6 = 31
To solve it, the most appropriate technique is:
2.) square root property
x² = 31-6
x² = 25
x = +/- root (25)
x = +/- 5
The solutions are:
x = 5
x = -5
