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

Find the 8th term of the arithmetic sequence -2x+5−2x+5, -7x+8−7x+8, -12x+11, ...
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

  -37x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficients have the sequence ...

  -2, -7, -12, ...

which has first term -2 and common difference of (-7 -(-2)) = -5. Then the 8th x-coefficient is ...

  -2 + (-5)(8 -1) = -37

__

The constants have the sequence ...

  5, 8, 11, ...

which has first term 5 and common difference 8 -5 = 3. Then the 8th constant term is ...

  5 +(3)(8 -1) = 26

The 8th term of the sequence is -37x +26.

_____

The general term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

In the above, we have used n=8 to find the 8th term.

Find the equaton of the line passing through the points (2,11) and (-8, -19) y= ?x ?​
antoniya [11.8K]

Find the slope:

(-19 - 11) / (-8 - 2) = (-30/-10) = 3

Find the y intercept:

y = mx + b

11 = 3(2) + b

b= 5

So equation is:

y = 3x + 5

A cylinder and a cone have the same volume. The cylinder has radius x and height y. The cone has radius 1/3x. Find the height of
Temka [501]

Great question! I had this question in Geometry on Edmentum.

Answer: Height of cone = 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cylinder and the cone have the same volume. The cylinder has radius x and height y. We will make use of the formulas:

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Volume of cone = 1/3πr²h

Since the cone has radius 1/3x, we will have to make its height 3 times of y (the height of the cylinder) to make both the cylinder and the cone have the same volume.

So, the height of the cone is equal to 3y.

Hope this helps, and have a wonderful day! :D
