Answer:

Children: $13

Adults: $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Well for both sets we can set up the following system of equations,

\left \{ {{3a + 4c = 106} \atop {2a + 3c = 75}} \right.

So first we need to solve for a in the first equation.

3a + 4c = 106

-4c to both sides

3a = -4c + 106

Divide 3 by both sides

<u>a = -4/3c + 35 1/3</u>

Now we plug in that a for a in 2a + 3c = 75.

2(-4/3c + 35 1/3) + 3c = 75

-8/3c + 70 2/3 + 3c = 75

Combine like terms

1/3c + 70 2/3 = 75

-70 2/3 to both sides

1/3c = 4 1/3

Divide 1/3 to both sides

c = 13

Now we can plug in 13 for c in 3a + 4c = 106,

3a + 4(13) = 106

3a + 52 = 106

-52 to both sides

3a = 54

Divide 3 by both sides.

a = 18

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>an adult ticket is $18 and a children's ticket is $13.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

Answer:

Adults pay $18 and children pay $13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You need to calculate the price of the tickets for adults and children for the group trip to New York.

If X represents adult and Y represents children, then you can express the given information as two equations with two unknown values:

<em>Three adults and four children must pay $106</em>. ⇒ 3X + 4Y= $106

<em>Two adults and three children must pay $75.</em> ⇒ 2X + 3Y= $75

I) First step, in one of the equations you have to clear one of the unknown values, I'll clear the value of Y:

3X + 4Y= 106

4Y= 106 - 3X

Y= \frac{106-3X}{4}

II) Second step you have to replace it in the second equation:

2X + 3Y= 75

2X + 3(\frac{106-3X}{4} )= 75

2X + \frac{3}{4}(106-3X)= 75

2X + (\frac{3}{4}*106 - \frac{3}{4}*3X )= 75

2X + 79.5 -\frac{9}{4}X =75

2X - \frac{9}{4}X= 75 - 79.5

-\frac{1}{4} X= -\frac{9}{2}

X= -\frac{9}{2} * -4= 18

The price for adult tickets is $18.

III) Third step, using the calculated value of X, you replace it on the formula obtained in I) yo calculate the price for the children Y:

Y= \frac{106-3X}{4}= \frac{106-(3*18)}{4} = \frac{27}{2}= 13.5

The ticket price for children is $13.5

I hope this helps!

Find the values of p and q such that 4x^2+12x=4(x+p)^2-q
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

p = 1.5 and q = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the right side then compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is

4(x + p)² - q ← expand (x + p)² using FOIL

= 4(x² + 2px + p²) - q ← distribute parenthesis

= 4x² + 8px + 4p² - q

Comparing coefficients of like terms on both sides

8p = 12 ( coefficients of x- terms ) ← divide both sides by 8

p = 1.5

4p² - q = 0 ( constant terms ), that is

4(1.5)² - q = 0

9 - q = 0 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- q = - 9 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

q = 9

Write a quadratic equation with the given roots. Write the equation in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 where a b and c are integers
Bas_tet [7]

You haven't provided the required roots, but I can tell you how to do this kind of exercises in general.

If the x^2 coefficient is 1, i.e. the equation is written like x^2+bx+c=0, then you can say the following about the coefficients b and c:

  • b is the opposite of the sum of the roots
  • c is the multiplication of the roots.

So, for example, if we want an equation whose roots are 4 and -2, we have:

  • 4+(-2) = 4-2 = 2 \implies b = -2
  • 4 \cdot (-2) = -8 \implies c = -8

So, the equation is x^2-2x-8=0

If your roots are rational, you can work like this: suppose you want an equation with roots 3/4 and 1/2. You have:

  • \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{5}{4} \implies b = -\dfrac{5}{4}
  • \dfrac{3}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{8} \implies c = \dfrac{3}{8}

And so the equation is

x^2 - \dfrac{5}{4} + \dfrac{3}{8} = 0

In order to have integer coefficients, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 8:

8x^2 - 10 + 3 = 0

What is u = kx + ух, for x
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<h2>x=  \frac{u}{k + y}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

u = kx + ух

First of all factorize x out at the right side of the equation

That's

u = x(k + y)

Divide both sides by ( k + y) to make x stand alone

That's

<h3>\frac{x(k + y)}{k + y}  =  \frac{u}{k + y}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>x =  \frac{u}{k + y}</h3>

Hope this helps you
