Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adults tickets be denoted by a

Let student tickets be denoted by s

On the first day of tickets sale, there were 10 adult tickets and 11 students tickets sold for a total of $190. This will be:

10a + 11s = 190

The second day, there were a total of $160 worth of tickets, 5 adult tickets and 12 student tickets. This will be:

5a + 12s = 160

We combine both equations

10a + 11s = 190 .......... equation i

5a + 12s = 160 ........... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 10

50a + 55s = 950 ....... equation iii

50a + 120s= 1600 ........ equation iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

50a + 55s = 950

- 50a + 120s= 1600

-65s = -650

65s= 650

Divide both side by 65

s = 10

The price for the student's ticket is $10.

3x+2y=6 and y=1/3x-11 perpendicular or parallel
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: To determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular, you have to look at the slopes. For the line y=kx+b, k is the slope.

For two lines  y=k1x+b1 and y=k2X+b2 ,When K1=K2, two lines are parallel; when K1=-1/k2, two lines are perpendicular. It doesn't matter whatever b1, b2 are. Hence to save time, you only need to calculate  k1 and k2.

To calculate the slope k of any line, you have to change the equation to y=kx+b

For -y=3x-2, k=3/(-1)=-3 (you divide -1 on each side of =, but you don't need to calculate -2/(-1))

For -6X+2y=6, K=6/2=3 (you first move the -6x to right side, it becomes 6x, then divide by 2)

Now you can get the answer: The two lines neither parallel nor perpendicular.
