Answer:

The least value of (r+s) is (12+14)=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first let us solve equation of 11(s-1)=13(r-1), which results in 11s-11=13r-13. Hence, 11s+2=13r. It is stated that r and s both are integers and greater than 1.

To make sure that r and s are integers, the least value of s must be equal to 14 (s=14) then the least value of r becomes 12 (r=12).

Finally, the least value of (r+s) is (12+14)=26.

The drama club was selling tickets
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult ticket $8  Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"

Student ticket $5  Call the number of student tickets sold "s"

Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284

Then we create two different equations with the information given:

a + s = 284

8 * a + 5 * s = 1948

we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a

and use it in the second equation

8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948

8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948

combining

3 a = 528

a = 528/3

a = 176

we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:

s - 284 - 176 = 108

Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold.

Given the function f(x)= x^2-7 and g(x) = 2x-x^3 what is the value of f(g(2))
Contact [7]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find g(2) because thats inside the f equation.

g(x) = 2x-x^3

g(2) = 2(2) - (2)^3

g(2) = 4 - 8

g(2) = - 4

So now we are finding

f(g(2)) => f(-4)

f(x) = x^2 - 7

f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 7

Remember, because the square is outside the parentheses due to us plugging in a value, it becomes positive

f(-4) = 16 - 7

f(-4) = 9
