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

Sarah can take no more than 22 pounds and I like the trap her suitcase weighs 112 ounces how many more pounds can she park witho
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

15 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 16 ounces in one pound

so...

first find the limit in ounces

22  =  \frac{x}{16}

because there are 16 ounces in every one pound you need to multiply 22 by 16

which is 352

now subtract what you already used

352 - 112

which is 240

now convert to pounds

x =  \frac{240}{16}

which is 15

so 15 more pounds

13. Danny is in science class and is given a square block of metal with
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: 336g.

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for density is mass divided by volume (m/v). In this problem, you mus first find the volume of the square block. The formula for volume is length multiplied by width multiplied by height (LxWxH). To solve for volume you plug in the values to the equation: 6x4x2 = 48.

Now, you have the volume, and you have the density. Now you need to solve for mass. Plug in the values you have into the density equation (d=m/v):

7=m/48

to isolate M, multiply each side by 48. this leaves you with 7x48 = m. now all thats left is to solve. 7x48 = 336g. You can double check by plugging the values back into the equation. 336/48 = 7.
