$x-\ adults\\
y-\ students\\\\ \left \{ {{5x+3.50y=2517.5} \atop {x+100=y}} \right.\\\\
5x+3.5(x+100)=2517.5\\\\
5x+3.5x+350=2517.5\ \ \ | subtract\ 350\\\\
8.5x= 2167,5\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 8.5\\\\
x=255\\\\
y=355\\\\
There\ were\ 355\ student\ tickets\ and\ 255\ adult\ tickets.$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = $\frac{1}{x}$ - $\frac{1}{y}$ = $\frac{y-x}{xy}$ ← as a single fraction

Thus

$\frac{1}{a}$ = $\frac{1}{\frac{y-x}{xy} }$ = $\frac{xy}{y-x}$ → A

Ross collects lizards , beetles and worms . He has more worms then lizards and beetles together. Altogether in the collection th

den301095 [7]

7 worms, 3 beetles, 2 lizards
<span>I found this by first doing the calculations for the number of legs (26). First, I added the legs for the 3 beetles together to get 18 legs. Then I added the legs for 2 lizards (8) to the beetles’ legs to get 26 legs in total.To find the number of heads I added the number of lizard heads (2) and beetles heads (3) to get five heads. Then I added the 7 worm’s heads to the lizard and beetles heads to get 12 heads in total.</span>

Answer:

60in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length= 24 in

Width = 18 in

Diagonally, we need to find using the Pythagoras theorem

D^2= L^2+W^2

D^2= 24^2+18^2

D^2= 576+324

D^2= 900

Square both sides

D= √900

D= 30 in

For both sides

=30*2= 60in

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: <em> $9\ rows$ </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> <em>The complete exercise is:"A gardener has 27 tulip bulbs, 45 tomato plants, 108 rose bushes, and 126 herb seedlings to plant in the city garden. He wants each row of the garden to have the same number of each kind of plant. What is the greatest number of rows that the gardener can make if he uses all the plants?"</em></h3><h3 />

The first step to solve the exercise is to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) between 27, 45, 108 and 126.

You can follow these steps in order to find the GCF:

1. You must decompose 27, 45, 108 and 126into their prime factors:

$27=3*3*3=3^3\\\\45=3*3*5=3^2*5\\\\108=2*2*3*3*3=2^2*3^3\\\\126=2*3*3*7=2*3^2*7$

2. You must multiply the commons with the lowest exponents. Then:

Therefore, the greatest number of rows that the gardener can make if he uses all the plants is:

$9\ rows$
