Answer:

The adult ticket costs $18 and the children ticket costs $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the adult ticket be a.

Let the price of the children ticket be c.

Three adults and four children must pay $106. This implies that:

3a + 4c = 106 _______(1)

Two adults and three children must pay $75. This implies that:

2a + 3c = 75 ________(2)

We have two simultaneous equations:

3a + 4c = 106 _____(1)

2a + 3c = 75 ______(2)

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 and subtract (1) from (2):

  6a + 9c = 225

- <u>(6a + 8c = 212)</u>

             c = $13

Put this value of c in (2):

2a + 3*13 = 75

2a + 39 = 75

=> 2a = 75 - 39

2a = 36

a = 36/2 = $18

Therefore, the adult ticket costs $18 and the children ticket costs $13.

Bakery has bought 250 pounds of muffin dough. They want to make waffles or muffins in half-dozen packs out of it. Half a dozen o
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

250 batches of muffins and 0 waffles.

Step-by-step explanation:

-1

If we denote the number of batches of muffins as "a" and the number of batches of waffles as "b," we are then supposed to maximize the profit function

P = 2a + 1.5b

subject to the following constraints: a>=0, b>=0, a + (3/4)b <= 250, and 3a + 6b <= 1200. The third constraint can be rewritten as 4a + 3b <= 1000.

Use the simplex method on these coefficients, and you should find the maximum profit to be $500 when a = 250 and b = 0. So, make 250 batches of muffins, no waffles.

You use up all the dough, have 450 minutes left, and have $500 profit, the maximum amount.

Consider the equation 4x + 1 = 2x + 5
Darya [45]

(a) Without solving the equation we can't determine whether its true or false.

(b) If x = 3

4x + 1 = 2x + 5

4(3) + 1 = 2(3) + 5

12 + 1 = 15 + 5

13 = 20

No, if x = 3, the equation will not be true.

(c) 4x + 1 = 2x + 5

4x - 2x = 5 - 1

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

This shows that x = 2 makes the equation true.
