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

A solid oblique pyramid has a square base with edges measuring x cm. The height of the pyramid is (x + 2) cm. Which expression r
zavuch27 [327]

we know that

the volume of a solid oblique pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3}*B*h

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the pyramid

in this problem we have that

B is a square

B=b^{2}

where

<u>b=x\ cm</u>

so

B=x^{2}\ cm^{2}

h=(x+2)\ cm

substitute in the formula of volume

V=\frac{1}{3}*x^{2}*(x+2)\\ \\V=\frac{1}{3}*[x^{3} +2x^{2}]\ cm^{3}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

V=\frac{1}{3}*[x^{3} +2x^{2}]\ cm^{3}

Find the center and radius of the circle whose equation is x 2 + y 2 + 10x − 1
Margaret [11]

we conclude that the center of the circle is the point (-5, 0).

<h3>How to find the center of the circle equation?</h3>

The equation of a circle with a center (a, b) and a radius R is given by:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

Here we are given the equation:

x^2 + y^2 + 10x - 1 = 0

Completing squares, we get:

x^2 + 10x + y^2 = 1

Now we can add and subtract 25 to get:

x^2 + 10x + 25 - 25 + y^2 = 1\\\\(x + 5)^2 -25 + y^2 = 1\\\\(x + 5)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = 26

Comparing that with the general circle equation, we conclude that the center of the circle is the point (-5, 0).

Answer:

120 blocks total

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the little cubes have side length 2"  Thus, the 11" height of the box cannot be used entirely:  we waste the top 1" because the five layers of little cubes reach only to 10" from the bottom.

Start at the bottom of the box.  The dimensions of the bottom are 12" by 8".  Along the longer side we can lay 6 blocks (which add up to 12" and are 2" wide.  We can add 3 more such rows to fill the available 8" width of the box bottom.  That's 6*4, or 24 blocks.

We can add 4 more 6 block by 4 block layers before we have the maximum 5 layers stacked in the box.

5 layers times 24 blocks per layer comes to 120 blocks total.
