$4

You can get this by setting up 2 equations. One for you and one for your friend. Each should have a cost equation. Let x = adult and y = student.

You: 7x + 16y = 120
Friend: 13x + 9 = 140

Solve using any method.

Answer:

The cost of student ticket is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

let

price for an adult = a

price for a student = b

7a + 16b = 120...........(i)

13a + 9b = 140............(ii)

make a subject of the formula in equation(i)

7a = 120 - 16b

divide through by 7

a = 120/7 - 16/7b

insert a in equation(ii)

13(120/7 - 16b/7)  + 9b = 140

1560 /7 - 208b/7 + 9b = 140

collect like terms

(-208b + 63b)/7 = 140 - 1560/7

-145b/7 =(980 - 1560) /7

-145b/7 = -580/7

multiply both sides by 7

-145b = -580

divide both sides by -145

b = -580/-145

b = 4

Insert the value of b in equation(ii)

13a + 9b = 140............(ii)

13a + 9(4) = 140

13a + 36 = 140

13a = 140 - 36

13a = 104

divide both sides by 13

a = 104/13

a = 8

The cost of student ticket is $4

If k represents a number then write an expression for the ratio of 3 less than k to 2 more than k
EleoNora [17]

The key words you should notice when looking at this word problem are “less than.” This means that the order is flipped, so “3 less than k” means “k minus 3.”

The expression for the ratio is k-3:k+3

Hope this helps

Okay so this is a wild guess but I would say 12. The whole angle is 90, but only 1/3 of that is in the smaller portion of the triangle. So, I assumed that 1/3 of the length of the whole triangle. Three times 6 is 18 and minus AD is 12. So BD=12? This is my best guess hope it helps
