Answer:

He does that because he is short and his hand can't reach the 20th floor button

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitch does that simply because he is short.

When he is leaving, he doesn't need to reach the 20th floor button because the button is way taller than the reach of his hands whereas when he is returning he has to reach the 20th floor button but his hand can only reach the 15th floor button. Thus, he gets to the 15th floor and walks up the remaining 5 flights.

Adult tickets to the fall play cost $8 and student tickets cost $4. The drama class sold 20 more adult tickets than student tick
lesya692 [45]

Hi! Welcome to Brainly! Let's solve this word problem together below! :)

Let's write this as a system of equations.

8a+4s=880

a= s+20

Let's plug our a value into the first equation.

8(s+20)+4s=880

8s+160+4s=880

We combine like terms.

12s+160=880

We subtract 160 from both sides.

12s=720

We divide both sides by 12

s=60

Now, we plug this value into the second equation.

a= 60+20

a= 80

Therefore, 80 adult tickets were sold.

I hope this helps! Have a fabulous time here at Brainly! :)

A new car is purchased for $47, 000 and over time its value depreciates by one half
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

you can figure it out by going in increments of 4.5 years because that is the info you have from the problem so

47000 4.5 years later is 23500

9 years = 11750

13.5y = 5875

18y = 2937.5

22.5 years later is 1468.75

22.5 years is about 23 years and to the nearest hundred dollars that is $1500 so that is the answer

Hope this helps! :)

OI 00<br>R<br>b) From the given figure:<br>write the alternate<br>angle of angle RUN<br>P<br>$<br>2​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate angles are defined as angles that are located in opposite positions when we look at them relative to a transverse line that intersects two horizontal lines.

Now, we want to find the alternate angle to angle RUN.

The same transverse line cuts the other horizontal line PQ at point O.

Therefore the alternate angle to angle RUN is angle POU
