Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of adult tickets

y ----> number of children tickets

we know that

Jane sold 100 tickets for her school auction

so

x+y=100 ----> equation A

Jane collected a total of $944

12x+8y=944 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (36,64)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of adult tickets sold was 36 and the number of children tickets sold was 64

What is the solution to this system of equations?<br><br> -5.9x-3.7y=-2.1<br> 5.9x+3.7y=2.1
marin [14]

Answer:

There are infinite solutions that solve the system y=0.57-1.59x

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The solution can be expressed as y=0.57-1.59x (there are infinite solutions that solve the system). This results from rearranging terms in the first or second equation.
  • This is because the first equation is a linear combination of the second one (this is, the first equation equals (-1) times the second equation). This means that the second equation does not add any information about x and y: it says exactly the same as the first equation about the relationship between x and y.
  • Then, in terms of solving the system, you have one unique expression (not repeated) that shows the relationship between y and x. This means that, any pair of (x,y) that meet the requirements expressed by y=0.57-1.59x, will solve the system. Then we have infinite solutions.

Letry. 14 Chapter 9: Chapter 9 rest Chapter Test
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

h = 7.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the triangle, we can first find the area of the triangle using the Heron's formula:

S = \sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}

Where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle and p is the semi perimeter of the triangle:

p = \frac{a+b+c}{2} = \frac{15 + 8 + 17 }{2} = 20\ cm

So the area of the triangle is:

S = \sqrt{20(20-15)(20-8)(20-17)}

S = 60\ cm^2

Now, to find the height, we can use the following equation for the area of the triangle:

S = base * height/2

The height draw in the figure is relative to the side of 17 cm, so this side is the value of base used in the formula. So we have that:

60 = 17 * h/2

h = 120/17

h = 7.06\ cm

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we have h = 7.1 cm

If ΔABC and ΔGEF are congruent by the ASA criterion, which pair of angles must be congruent?
suter [353]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the below diagram for the given triangles, then ∠B=∠E and ∠A=∠G if AB=GE or if BC=EF, then corresponding angles will be equal.

Therefore, if we rotate the diagram, then also the angles will remain the same.
