The answer is 28 miles.

Displacement is not the same as distance. Total distance would be the sum of two distances: 40 + 12 = 52 miles.
However, displacement is the shortest distance from the initial and final position. Take a look at the attached image. Displacement is the difference of two distances:
D = 40 - 12 = 28 miles

40-20=20 you would be in the middle of the 2 miles. do the math and you will get your answer the same way that i did.

kkurt [141]

CD=CA+AB+BD

AB=CD-CA-BD

AB=CD-BD-BD

AB=CD-2.BD

AB=CD-2(BC+CD)

AB=CD-2BC-2CD

AB=-(CD+2BC)

AB=-{98-6(x+8)}

AB= 6x-50

At a movie theater, tickets for children cost $8 each and adult tickets cost $8.75 each. Of ticket sales for a group of 35 peopl
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The results don't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

"x" is the number of children's tickets

"y" is the number of adult tickets

Thus:

8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259

 x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y

replacing we have:

 8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259

280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259

 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280

0.75 * y = -21

y = -21 / 0.75

y = -28

Thus:

x = 35 - (-28) = 63

With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
