Answer:

The system of equations are;

3x + 2y = 170

4x +6y = 360

Step-by-step explanation:

Form simultaneous equations and solve

Let x=price of children tickets

Let y=price of adult tickets

The Brown Family paid $170 for 3 children and 2 adults , this forms the equation as:

3x + 2y =$ 170

3x + 2y = 170 --------------------------equation (i)

The Peckham Family paid $360 for 4 children and 6 adults.

4x + 6y = $360

4x +6y = 360 ---------------------------equation (ii)

Solving the equations by graph will give value of x=30 and y=40

The price of children tickets was $30 and that of adults was $40

Write an equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with end points M(1,5) and N(7,-1)
vitfil [10]
The perpendicular bisector of the segment passes through the midpoint of this segment. Thus, we will initially find the midpoint P:

P=\dfrac{(1,5)+(7,-1)}{2}=\dfrac{(8,4)}{2}=(4,2)

Now, we will calculate the slope of the segment support line (r). After this, we will use the fact that the perpendicular bisector (p) is perpendicular to r:

m_r=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\dfrac{5-(-1)}{1-7}=\dfrac{6}{-6}\iff m_r=-1


p\perp r\Longrightarrow m_p\cdot m_r=-1\Longrightarrow m_p\cdot(-1)=-1\iff m_p=1

We can calculate the equation of p by using its slope and its point P:

y-y_P=m_p(x-x_P)\\\\
y-2=1\cdot(x-4)\\\\
y-2=x-4\\\\
\boxed{p:~~y=x-2}

Last Sunday 1,575 people visited the amusement park 56% of the visitors were adults, 16% were teenagers, and 28% were children a
natulia [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The number of adults, teenagers out of 1,575 people visited the amusement park are 882 adults and 252 teenagers

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total no of people who visited the amusement park= 1575

Percentage of adults=56%

Percentage of teenagers=16%

Percentage of 12 and under= 28%

Number of adults present= \frac{56}{100}\times 1575

=882

Number of teenagers present= \frac{16}{100}\times 1575

=252

Hence, 882 adults and 252 teenagers visited the amusement park
