A senior ticket costs $10, while a student ticket costs $8. You can solve this system of equations by the elimination method.

We can use x as the variable for the senior tickets, and y as the variable for the student tickets and represent it with these equations:
10x+12y=212 and 12x+14y=232

Next, multiply each entire equation by a variable so they can eliminate each other. I used 12 and -10 here so it would be 120x-120x to eliminate that variable.
12(10x+14y=212) and -10(12x+14y=232)

Our new equations are:
(120x +168y= 2544) and (-120x-140y=-2320)

You can then subtract one of the equations from the other leaving you with 28y=224 and solve it for y to get 8.
So the price of a student ticket is 8.

Pick any of the original equations and by replacing y with 8, you can solve to find x. (X is the variable we assigned for senior tickets)
10x+14(8)=212
10x+112=212
10x=212-112
10x= 100
1x=10

Need help please! Will give it to the brainliest. Which expression models the bacterium's volume? Picture is below.
Tomtit [17]

The expression C. \pi (1)^{2} (0.5) cubic \mu \mathrm{m} represents the bacterium's volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The E. Coli bacterium is in the shape of a cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder is given by multiplying π with the square of the radius (r²) and the height of the cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder, V=\pi r^{2} h.

In the given diagram, E. Coli has a radius of 1 \mu \mathrm{m} and a height of 0.5 \mu \mathrm{m}.

Step 2:

By substituting the values in the equation, we get

The volume of the E. Coli bacterium = \pi (1)^{2} (0.5) cubic \mu \mathrm{m}.

This is option C.

Determine measurements of data for the following numbers:
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: mean=87, median=87.5 and range=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

First add all the numbers

78+95+77+92+87+79+94+86+88+94 = 870

Then you divide the answer by counting the numbers

870÷10

=87

Median:

First arrange the numbers in ascending order (from smallest to largest)

77, 78, 79, 86, 87, 88, 92, 94, 94, 95

pick the two middle numbers which is 87 and 88

then you do \frac{87+88}{2}

                = 175÷2

                =  87.5

range = Largest number - smallest number

= 95-77

= 18
