4 adult tickets were sold and 8 student tickets were sold.
How did I get this? 

First, let's see what information is given:
12 tickets sold
(S)tudent ticket = $9
(A)dult ticket = $12
Total cost = $120

So, we know student tickets plus adult tickets total up to $12. We can create an equation out of this: S + A = 12

And we know $9S + $12A = $120 

The variables represent the amount of tickets sold, which is unknown. 
A = 12 - S , substitute this into the second equation.

9s + 12(12-s) = 120
Distribute the 12 into the parenthesis.

9s + 144 - 12s = 120
Combine like terms

-3s + 144 = 120
Subtract both sides by 144, left side cancels out.

-3s = -24
s = -24/-3
s = 8 

So, 8 student tickets were sold. Plug the value of s into our first equation.

A = 12 - 8 
A = 4 (adult tickets)

3. Find the value of m for which the equation mx + 14 = 12 + 2 has one repeated root.
umka2103 [35]

Using the discriminant of a quadratic equation, it is found that the quadratic equation would have one repeated solution for m = -3.

<h3>What is the quadratic equation?</h3>

The quadratic equation is given as follows:

mx² + 12x - 12.

<h3>What is the discriminant of a quadratic equation and how does it influence the solutions?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The discriminant is:

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

The solutions are as follows:

  • If \mathbf{\Delta > 0}, it has 2 real solutions.
  • If \mathbf{\Delta = 0}, it has 1 real solutions.
  • If \mathbf{\Delta < 0}, it has 2 complex solutions.

For this problem, the coefficients are:

a = m, b = 12, c = -12.

Hence the discriminant is:

b² - 4ac = 144 + 48m.

We want it to be of 0, hence:

144 + 48m = 0

m = -144/48

m = -3.

A company loses $780 as a result of shipping delay the 6 owners of the company must share the loss equally.
tekilochka [14]

A) Change in profit for each owner = -780/8

B) Change in profit for each owner = -$130

The total loss  = $780

Number of owners = 6

The 6 owners must share the loss equally

The change in profit for each owner will be the original profit less 780/6

That is -780/6

Evaluating -780/6

Change in profit for each owner = -$130

Determine the value of n that makes the polynomial a perfect square trinomial. Then factor as the square of a binomial. Express
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2-11y+n\\=(y-(11/2))^2+n-(11/2)^2

So in order the trinomial a perfect square we need

n-(11/2)^2 =0\\n= (11/2)^2\\n=\frac{121}{4}

When n is equal to this number that we have

y^2-11y+n = (y- (11/2))^2
