Answer: the cost of an adult ticket is $9.

The cost of a child's ticket is $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one adult ticket.

Let y represent the price of one student ticket.

On the first day of ticket sales, the school sold two adult tickets and three students tickets for a total of $57. It means that

2x + 3y = 57- - - - - - - - - -1

The school took and $70 on the second day by selling two adult tickets and four student tickets. It means that

2x + 4y = 70- - - - - - - - - -2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

- y = - 13

y = 13

Substituting y = 13 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 3 × 13 = 57

2x + 39 = 57

2x = 57 - 39 = 18

x = 18/2

x = 9

Graph the equation<br> y = 5x<br> Use the graphing tool to graph the line.
taurus [48]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

You want a line that goes through (0, 0) and has a slope of 5. That means it will also go through (1, 5) and (2, 10), for example. I like the attached graphing tool because it will draw the graph directly from the equation.

(84x - 69y) - (65x + 34y)
Svetach [21]

(84x - 69y) - (65x + 34y)

Remove the parenthesis and combine the like terms:

84x - 65x = 19x

-69y - 34y = -103y

Combine for final answer:

19x -103y

3. Solve 2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2<br>​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

y =  4  or y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2

​2log_4(y) - log_4(5y-12) = log_4(2)           apply law of logarithms

log_4(y^2) + log_4(1/(5y-12)) = log_4(/2)    apply law of logarithms

log_4(y^2/(5y-12)) = log_4(2)                     remove logarithm

y^2/(5y-12) = 2                                            cross multiply

y^2 = 10y-24                                                  rearrange and factor

y^2 - 10y + 24 = 0

(y-4)(y-6) = 0

y= 4 or y=6

I need explanations for Mathematical Proofs.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Proofs employ logic expressed in mathematical symbols, along with natural language which usually admits some ambiguity. In most mathematical literature, proofs are written in terms of rigorous informal logic.

According to Bleiler-Baxter & Pair [22], for a mathematician, a proof serves to convince or justify that a certain statement is true. But it also helps to increase the understanding of the result and the related concepts. That is why a proof also has the role of explanation.

There are many different ways to go about proving something, we'll discuss 3 methods: direct proof, proof by contradiction, proof by induction. We'll talk about what each of these proofs are, when and how they're used. Before diving in, we'll need to explain some terminology.

Although I will focus on proofs in mathematical education per the topic of the question, first and foremost proofs are so hard because they involve taking a hypothesis and attempting to prove or disprove it by finding a counterexample. There are many such hypotheses that have (had) serious monetary rewards available.

In logic and mathematics, a formal proof or derivation is a finite sequence of sentences (called well-formed formulas in the case of a formal language), each of which is an axiom, an assumption, or follows from the preceding sentences in the sequence by a rule of inference.

All mathematicians in the study considered proofs valuable for students because they offer students new methods, important concepts and exercise in logical reasoning needed in problem solving. The study shows that some mathematicians consider proving and problem solving almost as the same kind of activities.

Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob. In 12 years, Bob's mom's age will be twice of
shusha [124]

I would use a chart to solve this problem.

This is a good wya to organize your information.

Down the left side, list the people involved.

I put Bob first and the mom second but the order doesn't matter.

Since Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob, we can represent

Bob's age now as x and Bob's mom's age now as 3x.

Bob's age in 12 years will be x + 12 and Bob's mom's

age in 12 years will simply be 3x + 12.

Since the second sentence starts with in 12 years,

we will be using the information from our second column.

In 12 years, Bob's mom's age, 3x + 12, will be,

equals, twice of her son's age, 2(x + 12).

Solving from here, we find that x = 12.

This means that Bob's age now is 12 and his mom is 36.

The chart is attached below.
