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

Someone help find surface area of a right rectangular prism
Bond [772]

Answer:

51 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

First you act like each side is it’s separate rectangle.

Then you would multiply 2 and 4 to get 8, the area of one of the sides. Then you would multiply 2 and 2.5 to get 5, the area of another side. Then 2.5 times 5 to get 12.5, the last side. Now sense every side has a side the same size of itself you would take each answer and multiply it by to to get 8x2=16, 5x2=10, and 12.5x2= 25. You would add together 16, 10, and 25 to get 51 square units, the surface area.

In the diagram, BC¯¯¯¯¯∥DE¯¯¯¯¯ .<br><br> What is AE ?
emmainna [20.7K]
So there are two triangles here: Smaller one (ADE) and bigger one (ABC) and they both are similar.

So you can use proportions here.

AB / AC = AD / AE

AB = AD + DB = 6 + 1 = 7
AC = AE + 3

AD = 6

So plug in these values:

AB / AC = AD / AE becomes
7 / (AE + 3) = 6 / AE

Now do the cross multiply:

7 AE = 6 (AE + 3)

Now solve for AE:

7AE = 6AE + 18

AE = 18

The area of a rectangle is 27ft squared, and the length of the rectangle is 3ft less than twice the width. Find the dimensions o
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

width =4.5ft

length=6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

w = x

L = 2x-3

area = L*w

27 = x(2x-3)

27=2x^{2} -3x

2x^{2} -3x-27=0

2x^{2} +6x-9x-27=0

2x(x+3)-9(x+3)=0

(2x-9)(x+3)=0

2x-9=0

2x=9

x=9/2

x=4.5

L=2x-3=2*4.5-3 =9-3=6
