Answer:

  • 280 student tickets
  • 520 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

You may recognize that you are given two relationships between two unknowns. You can write equations for that.

You are asked for numbers of adult tickets and of student tickets. It often works well to let the values you're asked for be represented by variables. We can choose "a" for the number of adult tickets, and "s" for the number of student tickets. Then the problem statement tells us the relationships ...

  a + s = 800 . . . . . . 800 tickets were sold

  12.50a + 7.50s = 8600 . . . . . . . revenue from sales was 8600

(You are supposed to know that the revenue from selling "a" adult tickets is found by multiplying the ticket price by the number of tickets: 12.50a.)

___

You can solve these two equations any number of ways. One way is to do it by <em>elimination</em>. We can multiply the first equation by 12.50 and subtract the second equation:

  12.50(a +s) -(12.50a +7.50s) = 12.50(800) -(8600)

  5s = 1400 . . . . simplify. (The "a" variable has been eliminated.)

  s = 280 . . . . . . divide by 5

Then the number of adult tickets can be found from the first equation:

  a + 280 = 800

  a = 520

280 student tickets and 520 adult tickets were sold.

Answer:

a) 2.0702

b) 2.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample, n = 840

standard deviation, σ = 60

a) The standard deviation of the sampling distribution, will be:

= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

= \frac{60}{\sqrt{840}}

= 2.0702

Standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 2.0702

b) According to the 68 part of the 68-95-99.7 rule, 68% of all values of x fall within 1 standard deviation on either side of the unknown mean μ.

Therefore, missing number will be:

1 * [\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}]

= 1 * 2.0702

= 2.0702 ≈ 2.07

Answer:

b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For this triangle we have to

a=18.2\\B=62\°\\C=48\°

We want to find the length of b

We know that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 °

So

A + 62 +48=180\\\\A=180-62-48\\\\A=70\°

Now we use the sine theorem to find the length of b:

\frac{sin(A)}{a}=\frac{sin(B)}{b}=\frac{sin(C)}{c}

Then:

\frac{sin(A)}{a}=\frac{sin(B)}{b}\\\\b=\frac{sin(B)}{\frac{sin(A)}{a}}\\\\b=a*\frac{sin(B)}{sin(A)}\\\\b=(18.2)\frac{sin(62)}{sin(70)}\\\\b=17

Which expression is equivalent to 6(4(6x-4y)-5) ?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

144x - 96y - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute </u>

6(4(6x - 4y) - 5)

6((4 * 6x) + (4 * -4y) - 5)

6(24x - 16y - 5)

<u>Step 2:  Distribute again </u>

<u />(6 * 24x) + (6 * -16y) + (6 * -5)

144x - 96y - 30

Answer:  144x - 96y - 30
