Answer:

The adult and the child ticket are both 8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

x =adult ticket price

y = child ticket price

I will assume you forget to put that they sold 2 child tickets on the second day

7x+5y=96 and 3x+2y= 40

I will use elimination.  Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by -5 to eliminate y

2(7x+5y)=96*2

14x + 10y = 192

The second equation

-5(3x+2y)= 40*-5

-15x -10y = -200

Add the equations together

14x + 10y = 192

-15x -10y = -200

------------------------

-x = -8

Multiply by -1

x = 8

Now we need to find y

3x+2y= 40

3(8) +2y = 40

24+2y = 40

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 +2y = 40-24

2y = 16

Divide by 2

2y/2 =16/2

y =8

The adult and the child ticket are both 8 dollars

3^x-3^(x-2)=A*3^x <br><br> solve for A
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

a=\frac{8}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

3^x-3x^{x-2} =a3^x

Divide both sides by 3^x:

3^{x-x}-3^{x-x-2}=a

Simplify:

3^0-3^{-2}=a\\a=1-\frac{1}{9} \\a=\frac{8}{9}

(Find the length of the missing side in each triangle)​
just olya [345]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relations are summarized by the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA. This means ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

So, for each triangle, determine the relationships of the given sides to the given angle: adjacent, opposite, or hypotenuse. Then write and solve the equation using one of the above templates.

a boat can travel 30 miles upstream in the same amount of time you can travel 50 miles Downstream. If the speed of the current i
almond37 [142]
Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S

Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph

Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles

Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,

30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph

The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.
