Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. The combined cost of one advance ticket and one sam

e-day ticket is 35
. For one performance, 15
advance tickets and 40
same-day tickets were sold. The total amount paid for the tickets was 900
. What was the price of each kind of ticket?

Let "a" and "s" represent the costs of advance and same-day tickets, respectively. Your problem statement gives you two relations.
.. a + s = 35 . . . . . the combined cost of one of each is 35
.. 15a +40s = 900 . . total paid for this combination of tickets was 900

There are many ways to solve these equations. You've probably been introduced to "substitution" and "elimination" (or "addition"). Using substitution for "a", we have
.. a = 35 -s
.. 15(35 -s) +40s = 900 . . substitute for "a"
.. 25s +525 = 900 . . . . . . . simplify
.. 25s = 375 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 525
.. s = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 25
Then
.. a = 35 -15 = 20

The price of an advance ticket was 20.
The price of a same-day ticket was 15.

Problem #1 -Find the equation of the line with the given slope and containing the given point.
DaniilM [7]
For 1)

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -7}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
%   (c,d)

\end{array}
\\\quad \\\\ % slope  = m
slope = {{\boxed{ m}}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\implies -\cfrac{3}{5}
\\ \quad \\\\
% point-slope intercept
y-{{ y_1}}={{\boxed{ m}}}(x-{{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values and solve for "y"}\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}

for 2)

\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%   (a,b)
&({{ -3}}\quad ,&{{ 17}})\quad 
%   (c,d)
&({{ -7}}\quad ,&{{ 37}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\\\
% slope  = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}
\\ \quad \\\\
% point-slope intercept
y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values and solve for "y"}\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}

then change the y= part to f(x) =

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation 3x^2 + 1 =5x ??<br> PLZZ HELP
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

x = .23

x = 1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The root of a polynomial is when the y-value equals 0. So set the equation euqal to 0:

3x^{2} -5x+1=0

2. Solve with the quadratic formula and you get:

\frac{5+\sqrt{13} }{6} and \frac{5-\sqrt{13} }{6} which is x = .23 and x = 1.43.

The rate is 320 feet per hour, 320 feethour . The hiking team descended the mountain from 1 pm to 5 pm. The net change is a ____
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "decrease, 1,280 feet".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Rate or speed,

= 320 feet per hour

1 pm to 5 pm means,

t = 5 - 1

 = 4 hours

Now,

The net change in distance will be:

⇒  \Delta D=-320\times 4 \ feet

⇒         =-1280 \ feet

Thus the above is the correct approach.
