Answer:

  $4

Step-by-step explanation:

The two purchases can be written in terms of the cost of an adult ticket (a) and the cost of a student ticket (s):

  7a +16s = 120 . . . . . . . . price for the first purchase

  13a +9s = 140 . . . . . . . . price for the second purchase

Using Cramer's rule, the value of s can be found as ...

  s = (120·13 -140·7)/(16·13 -9·7) = 580/145 = 4

The cost of a student ticket is $4.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

Cramer's rule is particularly useful for systems that don't have "nice" numbers that would make substitution or elimination easy methods to use. If you locate the numbers in the equation, you can see the X-patterns that are used to compute the numerator and denominator differences.

The value of a is (16·140 -9·120)/(same denominator) = 1160/145 = 8. I wanted to show you these numbers so you could see the numerator X-pattern for the first variable.

__

Of course, graphical methods can be quick and easy, too.

19)  15/a = 3/2 

Start by cross multiplying....

3a = 30 

Divide both sides 3 

a = 10 

21)   2/7 = 4/d 

        2d = 28
       
        d= 14 

23)  8/p = 3/10

       
80 = 3p
         p = 26.66

25)  2 / -5 = 6/t
        2t = -30

      t = -15

Helppppppppp please:)
OlgaM077 [116]

Step-by-step explanation:

Thr triangles are similar if any two sides are proportional.

In this, we cannot see any proportional sides, like

DU should be proportional to UT, it is not.

SU should be equal to UE ,it is not.

So, The triangles are not similar.

Hope it helps :)
