At the movie theater, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $8.60. On Friday, 132 tickets were sold for a total sales

of $931.20. How many tickets of each category were sold that day?

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

Three functions are given below: f(x), g(x), and h(x). Explain how to find the axis of symmetry for each function, and rank the
Llana [10]

Answer:

  h(x), g(x), f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line through its vertex.

__

<h3>f(x)</h3>

The equation is written in vertex form:

  f(x) = a(x -h)² +k . . . . . vertex (h, k), scale factor 'a'

The vertical line through the vertex is x=h.

Your equation is ...

  f(x) = -2(x -4) +2

so (h, k) = (4, 2) and the line of symmetry is x=4.

__

<h3>g(x)</h3>

The given equation can be written in vertex form:

  g(x) = 5x² -10x +7

  g(x) = 5(x² -2x) +7

  g(x) = 5(x² -2x +1) +7 -5 . . . . complete the square

  g(x) = 5(x -1)² +2

so (h, k) = (1, 2) and the line of symmetry is x=1.

__

<h3>h(x)</h3>

Your problem statement tells us ...

  h(x) = -(x +2)² +2

so (h, k) = (-2, 2) and the line of symmetry is x=-2.

The coordinates of the vertex can also be read from the graph: (-2, 2).

__

<h3>order</h3>

The rank of the functions is the order of {-2, 1, 4}, or h(x), g(x), f(x).

A 40-inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is 3 times as long as the first piece and the third piec
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third one is 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of the 3 pieces, knowing that the total of the board is 40 inches, and that the second measures 3 times more than the first and the third measures 4 times more than the first, the following equation must be performed:

X + 3X + 4X = 40

8X = 40

X = 40/8

X = 5

Therefore, the first piece is 5 inches long, while the second is 15 inches and the third 20 inches.

A n =−1+3(n−1) an=−1+3(n−1) what is the 55 term in the sequence
Sindrei [870]
ANSWER

a_{55}=161


EXPLANATION

The general term for the sequence is


a_n=-1+3(n-1)


To find the 55th term, we have to substitute
n = 55
in to the general term and simplify.



This implies that,

a_{55}=-1+3(55-1)



a_{55}=-1+3(54)




a_{55}=-1+162



a_{55}=161


Therefore the 55th term is 161.
