Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3(a+1.5)=-1.5
a+1.5 = - 1.5/3 = - 0.5
a = - 0.5 - 1.5 = - 2
Ford Family consists of:
a) 2 adults
The price of ticket for each adult is $18.55. This can be approximated to $19 if we round it to nearest dollar. So the price of ticket for 2 adults will be 2 x 19 = $38
b) 3 children between ages 2 and 10.
Ticket for each child between ages 2 - 10 is $12.59 which can be approximated to $13. So ticket price for 3 children will be 3 x 13 = $39
c) 2 children below the age of 2.
Ticket price for each child is $6.54 which can approximated as $7. So ticket price for 2 children will be 2 x 7 = $14
The estimated total amount due on the family equals = 38 + 39 + 14 = $91
In each of the 3 cases we rounded up the values. So this means the actual amount must be slightly lesser than $91. The actual bill was $87.95 which is close to $91 and lesser than it. Hence we can conclude that $87.95 is the correct amount due for Ford Family.
The slope of a line perpendicular to another line has a
slope which is the negative reciprocal of that line or:
m1 = -1/m2
First, we convert the given equation into slope-intercept
form of a line: y = mx + b
8x + 15y = 12
15y = -8x + 12
y = (-8/15) x + 0.8
m1 = -8 / 15
Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is:
m2 = 15 / 8
Since the perpendicular line crosses the point (11, 17), therefore
using the slope formula:
m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)
15 / 8 = (y2 – 17) / (x2 – 11)
1.875 (x2 – 11) = y2 – 17
1.875 x2 – 20.625 = y2 – 17
y2 = 1.875 x2 – 3.625
y = (15/8) x – 3.625
multiplying both sides by 8:
8y = 15x – 29
rewriting in standard form:

The three numbers are 52, 53, 54.
52+53=105 105+54=159
