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

Find the value of x and the value of y.
Zolol [24]
5x - 100 + x - 20 = 180 (sum of supplementary angles is equal 180)
6x - 120  = 180
6x = 300
  x = 50

x - 20 = 50 - 20 = 30

so
3y = 30 (vertical angles are equal)
 y = 10

The data in the table represent the height of an object over
Arada [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following data in the table which represents the height of an object over  time:

Time (s)          Height (ft)

     0                      5

      1                     50

     2                     70

     3                     48

We know that in situation where the values increase and then decreases, a quadratic model is used.

From the values given in the table, we can see that the values of height first increased and then decreased with the increase in time.

Therefore, the model used is quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.
