For this case, we propose a system of two equations with two unknowns.

Let:

x: Represents the number of children's tickets

y: Represents the number of adult tickets

5.20x + 8.60y = 931.20\\x + y = 132

So, we clear x from the second equation:

x = 132-y

We replace in the first one.

5.20 (132-y) + 8.60y = 931.20\\686.4-5.20y + 8.60y = 931.20\\-5.20y + 8.60y = 931.20-686.4\\3.4y = 244.8\\y = \frac {244.8} {3.4}\\y = 72

<em>72 adult tickets were sold. </em>

x = 132-y\\x = 132-72\\x = 60

<em>60 tickets for children were sold </em>

Answer:

60 tickets for children

72 adult tickets

Answer:

60 child tickets and 72 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the number of child tickets sold and y the number of adult tickets sold. The problem involves solving the following system of linear equations; x+y=132 and 5.2x+8.6y=931.2. Using technology to solve this simultaneous equation yields; x= 60, y =72

Line a is perpendicular to line b. if the slope of line a is 1/8, what is the slope of line b
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

-8/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite slopes., meaning the signs are opposite, and the numerator and denominator are flipped.

Here's another example:

If line a had a slope of 4/5, line b would have a slope of -5/4, if the lines are perpendicular.

This is infinity solutions -
33x-33+99=33x-33-99
99=-99
Since 99 __equal -99 the equation has many solutions
