Answer:

45 adult tickets sold

Step-by-step explanation:

let c be each child ticket sold and a be the adult tickets sold

6a+3.50c=340 represents the cost while a+c=65 is the tickets sold

if you solve by elimination you have to multiply the second equation by -3.50 to get a new equation of -3.50a-3.50c=-227.50 then you subtract both equations and get 2.5a=112.5 the you divide both sides by 2.5 to get a=45

which means there were 45 adult tickets sold

Solve the system of equations. x+2y=6; 3x-14y=8 please help
ira [324]
Let x = 6 = 2y so
3(6 - 2y) + 14y = 8 so
18 - 6y + 14y = 8 so
8y = -10 and
y =  \frac{ - 10}{8} =   - \frac{5}{4}  \\  \\ since \: x = 6 - 2y \\ 6  - 2( \frac{ - 5}{4}) = x  \: so \\ x = 6 +  \frac{10}{4} =  \frac{24}{4} +  \frac{10}{4} =  \frac{34}{4} =  \frac{17}{2}

At a large nursery, a border for a rectangular garden is being built. Designers want the border’s length to be 5 feet greater th
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Let

x--------> the border’s length

y--------> the border’s width

P--------> perimeter of the border


we know that

x=5+y------> equation 1

P=2*[x+y]-----> P=2x+2y

P <=180 ft

(2x+2y) <= 180-------> equation 2


substitute the equation 1 in equation 2

2*[5+y]+2y <= 180

10+2y+2y <= 180

4y <= 180-10

4y <=170

y <=42.5 ft

so

the maximum value of the width is 42.5 ft

for y=42.5 ft

x=42.5+5------> x=47.5 ft


the answer is

the width of the border is less than or equal to 42.5 ft

What is the domain of the function
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

x\geq -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is all of the values that x can be under that specific function. In this case, we're asking what values of x allow \sqrt{\frac{1}{3} x+2} to exist.

In order for square roots to exist, the quantity under the square root must be greater than or equal to 0, because you can't take the square root of a negative number. Therefore, we can write the following inequality to solve for x:

\frac{1}{3}x+2\geq 0

Solving this inequality, we get:

\frac{1}{3}x+2\geq 0

\frac{1}{3}x\geq -2 (Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality to isolate x)

x\geq -6 (Multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 to get rid of x's coefficient)

Hope this helps!
