Answer:

An adult ticket is 17

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult price

c = child price

3a + 4c = 99

2a + 3c = 70

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(3a + 4c) = 99*2

6a + 8c = 198

Multiply the second equation by -3

-3 (2a + 3c) = 70*-3

-6a -9c = -210

Add these new equations together

6a + 8c = 198

-6a -9c = -210

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

     -c = -12

Multiply by -1

        c = 12

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Now we need to find the price of an adult ticket

2a + 3c = 70

2a + 3(12) = 70

2a +36 = 70

Subtract 36 from each side

2a +36-36 =70-36

2a = 34

Divide by 2

2a/2 = 34/2

a = 17

An adult ticket is 17

Camille is attending a fundraiser. She pays for her admission and buys raffle tickets for $ 5 $5 each. If she buys 1 0 10 raffle
tatyana61 [14]
The question is a little confusing, but I think the answer goes like this:
135 = admission + 5x, and if she bought 10 tickets:
135 = admission + 50, so admission must have cost her $85
The function would be f(x) = 85 + 5x, where x is equal to the number of raffle tickets purchased

Complete the following exercises by applying polynomial identities to complex numbers. Factor x2 + 64. Check your work. Factor 1

x^2+64=x^2-(8i)^2=(x-8i)(x+8i)

16x^2+49=(4x)^2-(7i)^2=(4x-7i)(4x+7i)

(x+9i)^2=x^2+2x\cdot9i+(9i)^2=x^2+18xi+81i^2=x^2+18xi-81=x^2-81+18xi

(x-2i)^2=x^2-2x\cdot2i+(2i)^2=x^2-4xi+4i^2=x^2-4xi-4=x^2-4-4xi

(x+(3+5i))^2=x^2+2x(3+5i)+(3+5i)^2\\\\=x^2+6x+10xi+3^2+2\cdot3\cdot5i+(5i)^2\\\\=x^2+6x+10xi+9+30i+25i^2=x^2+6x+10xi+9+30i-25\\\\=x^2+6x+10xi+30i-16=x^2+6x-16+(10x+30)i


Used:\\i^2=-1\\\\a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
