Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for

opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50 a plus 3.75 b equals 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold? adult tickets

Answer:

168

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation given is 0.50 a +3.75 b= 2071.50

Where a is number of adult tickets and b is number of student tickets

It is also given that 82 students attended, so we can put "82" in place of "b" and then solve the equation for a:

10.50a+3.75b=2071.50\\10.50a+3.75(82)=2071.50\\10.50a+307.5=2071.50\\10.50a=2071.50-307.5\\10.50a=1764\\a=\frac{1764}{10.50}\\a=168

Hence, 168 adults attended

Find the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x2 + 63.5x - 17
Luden [163]

The larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then its roots are given as:

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

The given quadratic equation is

y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17

now, the roots of the equation are

x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{63.5^2 - 4(-2.2)(-17)}}{2(-2.2)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{4032.25 - 149.6}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{3882.65}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm 62.31}{(-4.4)}

The two roots are 0.27 and 28.59.

Thus, the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

Which of the following is the product of the rational expression shown below
wolverine [178]

Option C: \frac{x^{2}-9}{x^{2}-4} is the product of the rational expression.

Explanation:

The given rational expression is \frac{x+3}{x+2} \cdot \frac{x-3}{x-2}

We need to determine the product of the rational expression.

<u>Product of the rational expression:</u>

Let us multiply the rational expression to determine the product of the rational expression.

Thus, we have;

\frac{(x+3)(x-3)}{(x+2)(x-2)}

Let us use the identity (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2 in the above expression.

Thus, we get;

\frac{x^{2} -3^2}{x^{2} -2^2}

Simplifying the terms, we get;

\frac{x^{2}-9}{x^{2}-4}

Thus, the product of the rational expression is \frac{x^{2}-9}{x^{2}-4}

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

What is the inequaliity of 3&lt;-5n+2n and how do you put it on a number line
timama [110]
The inequality would be the negative factor, because -5n+2n is 3n. You would write it on a number line like this..... 
Sry, i was just making an educated guess.... RIP....
