Answer: The price of an adult ticket = $6

The price of a student ticket = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of an adult ticket be a

Let the price of a student ticket be b.

From the question,

5a + 14b = 198 ...... equation i

10a + 8b = 156....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 10

Multiply equation ii by 5

50a + 140b = 1980 ...... equation iii

50a + 40b = 780 ....... equation iv

Subtract iv from iii

100b = 1200

b = 1200/100

b = 12

Put the value of b into equation ii

10a + 8b = 156

10a + 8(12) = 156

10a + 96 = 156

10a = 156-96

10a = 60

a = 6

The price of an adult ticket = $6

The price of a student ticket = $12

Answer: 130 miles

Explanation: make an equation. 24 + 0.10m = 37.00. subtract 24 from both sides leaving m for miles on one side. 0.10m = 13.00. now divide both sides by 0.10 leaving m by itself and making the equation m = 130.

Isabella is solving the equation 4x^2=13x-3 with the quadratic formula
laiz [17]

Answer:

x=(3,1/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Be sure to use the formula...

-b + or - sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } / 2a

- First, move all variables to one side (left) of the equation. You want one side to be equivalent to zero.

-Next, you need to find a, b, and c. This should be...

a=4

b=-13

c=3

- Knowing this, fill in these variable to go along with the formula. I cannot do this for you, as you should try it on your own. But, you should end up with the solution x= (3,1/4).

- Hope this helps! If you need a further explanation or help on any more problems please let me know, as I would be glad to help anytime.

So, $60 x 1.60 =

$96.00

The original price of the pair of shoes were: $96.00
