Answer: 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "o" the number of orchestra seats they bought and "m" the number of mezzanine seats they bought.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{42o+25m=486} \atop {o+m=14}} \right.

You can apply the Substittution Method to solve the system of equations:

1. Solve for "o" from the second equation:

o=14-m

2. Substitute it into the first equation and solve for "m":

42(14-m)+25m=486\\\\588-42m+25m=486\\\\-17m=-102\\\\m=\frac{-102}{-17}\\\\m=6

3. Substitute the value of "m" into o=14-m and evaluate, in order to find the value of "o". This is:

o=14-6\\\\o=8

Use linear approximation to approximate √25.3 as follows.
Sophie [7]

The idea is to use the tangent line to f(x)=\sqrt x at x=25 in order to approximate f(25.3)=\sqrt{25.3}.

We have

f(x)=\sqrt x\implies f(25)=\sqrt{25}=5

f'(x)=\dfrac1{2\sqrt x}\implies f'(25)=\dfrac1{10}

so the linear approximation to f(x) is

L(x)=f(5)+f'(5)(x-5)=5+\dfrac{x-5}{10}=\dfrac x{10}+\dfrac92

Hence m=\frac1{10} and b=\frac92.

Then

f(25.3)\approx L(25.3)=\dfrac{25.3}{10}+\dfrac92=\boxed{7.03}

Stephan curry of the golden state warriors made 29 baskets some were 2 points some were 3 points. If the total points he scores
seraphim [82]
<h2>Answer: He makes 261 baskets to earn 45 points.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of points = 2 + 3 = 5

Number of baskets = 29

if he makes 45 points,

We need to find the number of baskets.

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{5}{29}=\dfrac{45}{x}\\\\5x=45\times 29\\\\x=\dfrac{45\times 29}{5}\\\\x=261

Hence, he makes 261 baskets to earn 45 points.

What is the value of a?
Annette [7]

Answer:

<h2>a = 16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a trapezoid is:

A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h

b_1,\ b_2 - bases

h - height

We have:

A=128,\ b_1=a+2,\ b_2=a-2,\ h=8

Substitute:

128=\dfrac{a+2+a-2}{2}\cdot8\\\\128=\dfrac{2a}{2}\cdot8

128=8a          <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

16=a\to a=16
