Answer:

113

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets sold =a

Let the number of student tickets sold =s

A total of 259 tickets were sold, therefore:

a+s=259

Adult tickets were sold for $24 each and student tickets were sold for $16 each.

Total Revenue = $5,312

Therefore:

24a+16s=5,312

We solve the two derived equations simultaneously.

From the first equation

a=259-s

Substitute a=259-s into 24a+16s=5,312

24(259-s)+16s=5,312

6216-24s+16s=5,312

-8s=5,312-6216

-8s=-904

Divide both sides by -8

s=113

Therefore, 113 student tickets were sold.

A steamer going downstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours. The return trip took 3 hours 40 minutes. Find the
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the steamer in still water is 18 mph.

Speed of the current = x mph.

1. The steamer going downstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours. Traveling downstream the current "helps" the steamer, then the speed is 18 + x mph.

The distance traveled downstream = 3(18 + x) miles.

2. The steamer going upstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours 40 minutes that is 3\frac{2}{3} hours. Traveling upstream the current "interferes" the steamer, then the speed is 18 - x mph.

The distance traveled upstream 3\dfrac{2}{3}(18-x) miles.

3. The distances are the same, so

3(18+x)=3\dfrac{2}{3}(18-x)

Solve this equation:

3(18+x)=\dfrac{11}{3}(18-x)\\ \\9(18+x)=11(18-x)\\ \\162+9x=198-11x\\ \\9x+11x=198-162\\ \\20x=36\\ \\x=1.8\ mph

Answer:

<h2>-35 + 13i</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

i=\sqrt{-1}\to i^2=-1\\\\(5+3i)-(5+3i)(5-5i)\qquad\text{distribute}\\\\=(5+3i)(1-(5-5i))=(5+3i)(1-5-(-5i))=(5+3i)(-4+5i)\\\\\text{use}\ FOIL:\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\=(5)(-4)+(5)(5i)+(3i)(-4)+(3i)(5i)\\\\=-20+25i-12i+15i^2=-20+13i+15(-1)\\\\=-20+13i-15=-35+13i
