Answer:

11y = 1155

$5 raffle tickets: 105

x = 4(105) - 2

$1.5 raffle tickets: 418

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5x + 5y = 1152    

x = 4y – 2

1.5(4y - 2) + 5y = 1152

6y - 3 + 5y = 1152

11y = 1155

y = 105

x = 4(105) - 2

x = 418

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5x + 5y = 1152    

x = 4y – 2

We can substitute the second equation into the first equation

Which one-variable linear equation can be formed using the substitution method?

1.5(4y-2) +5y = 1152  

Distribute

6y -3 +5y = 1152

Combine like terms

11y-3 = 1152

Add 3 to each side

11y-3+3 = 1152+3

11y = 1155

Divide each side by 11

11y/11 = 1155/11

y = 105

How many $5 raffle tickets were sold?

105 5 dollar tickets were sold

Now we need to find the number of 1.50 tickets

Which equation can be used to determine how many $1.50 raffle tickets were sold?

x = 4y – 2

x = 4(105) -2

   =420-2

   = 418

How many $1.50 raffle tickets were sold?

418    $1.50 tickets were sold

Un jardín rectangular de 50 cm de largo por 34 m de ancho está rodeado por un camino de arena uniforme.Halla la anchura de dicho
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

5.85 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the sand road can be calculated knowing its area and the dimensions of the rectangular garden as follows:

A_{g} = a.b

<u>Where:</u>

Ag: is the area of the rectangular garden

a: is the length of the rectangular garden = 50 cm = 0.5 m

b: is the width of the rectangular garden = 34 m

A_{s} = 540 m^{2}

<u>Where</u>:

As: is the area of the sand road

The relation between the area of the sand road and the area of the rectangular garden is the following:

A_{s} + A_{g} = (a+2x)*(b+2x)

540 m^{2} + 0.5m*34m = ab + 2ax + 2bx + 4x^{2}

557 m^{2} = ab + 2x(a + b) + 4x^{2}

557 m^{2} - 17m^{2} - 2x(34.5 m) - 4x^{2} = 0

540 - 69x - 4x^{2} = 0                              

By solving the above equation for x we have two solutions:

x₁ = -23.10 m

x₂ = 5.85 m

Taking the positive value, we have that the width of the sand road is 5.85 m.

I hope it helps you!

line L passes through point (2, -5) and is perpendicular to the line with equation y=7. determine the equation of line L
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The equation of the line L is x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The line y=7

Is a horizontal line (parallel line to the x-axis)

The slope of a horizontal line is equal to zero

A line L perpendicular to the given line must be a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

The slope of the line L is undefined

The line L passes through the point (2,-5)

therefore

The equation of the line L will be equal to the x-coordinate of the given point

x=2
