Because they have the same amount of child tickets, You would take the amount more Josh spent and divide it by how many more adult tickets he bought. Amount more he spent-$15 and he bought 2 extra adult tickets so $7.50 each. If an adult ticket is $7.50. $25-$7.50(one adult ticket)=$17.50/5(# of child tickets)=$3.50
Adult price-$7.50
Child price-$3.50

Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375

part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75

Using the binomial theorem , obtain the expansion of :

andrezito [222]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand both factors and collect like term

Using Pascal' triangle with n = 6 to obtain the coefficients

1 6 15 20 15 6 1

Decreasing powers of 1 from $1^{6}$ to $1^{0}$

Increasing powers of 3x from $(3x)^{0}$ to $(3x)^{6}$

$1+3x)^{6}$

= 1. $1^{6}$ $(3x)^{0}$ + 6. $1^{5}$ $(3x)^{1}$ + 15. $1^{4}$ $(3x)^{2}$ + 20. $1^{3}$ $(3x)^{3}$ + 15.1² $(3x)^{4}$ + 6. $1^{1}$ $(3x)^{5}$ + 1. $1^{0}$ $(3x)^{6}$

= 1 + 18x + 135x² + 540x³ + 1215 $x^{4}$ + 1458 $x^{5}$ + 729 $x^{6}$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$(1-3x)^{6}$

= 1. $1^{6}$ $(-3x)^{0}$ + 6. $1^{5}$ $(-3x)^{1}$ + 15. $1^{4}$ $(-3x)^{2}$ + 20. $1^{3}$ $(-3x)^{3}$ + 15.1² $(-3x)^{4}$ + 6. $1^{1}$ $(-3x)^{5}$ + 1. $1^{0}$ $(-3x)^{6}$

= 1 - 18x + 135x² - 540x³ + 1215 $x^{4}$ - 1458 $x^{5}$ + 729 $x^{6}$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Collecting like terms from both expressions

$(1+3x)^{6}$ + $(1-3x)^{6}$

= 2 + 270x² + 2430 $x^{4}$ + 1458 $x^{6}$

Solve the following equations. 2x - y = 8 3x + y = 17

aleksley [76]

<h2>Answer: (5, 2)</h2>

<h2>System of equations:</h2>

2x - y = 8

3x + y = 17

<h2>Solve for x:</h2>

2x - y = 8

3x + y = 17

________ +

5x = 25

x = 5

<h2>Plug in x to one of the equations to solve for Y</h2>

2(5) - y = 8

10 - y = 8

-y = -2

y = 2
