To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must make a system of equations, as below:

2. Let's call:

x: the number of first class tickets bought.
y: the number of coach tickets bought.

3. Then, you have:

x+y=7 (First equation)
970x+370y=3790 (Second equation)

x=7-y

4. By substitution, you have:

970x+370y=3790
970(7-y)+370=3790
y=5

x=7-y
x=7-5
x=2

Therefore, the answer is:

- Number of first class tickets bought=2

- Number of coach tickets bought=5

What are the two point plz help me

evablogger [386]

Your first point should always be shown in the y-intercept following the standard form for slope-intercept form

Y = mx + b

b = y - intercept

In this case your first point would be (0,1)

You next point would be following the slope which is -2x. When you graph a equation always know that it is rise over run. For this line, it would be going from left to right since it is a negative line.

Your second point would go down 2 points from your starting point (0,1) and run 1 to the right in the x-axis, which is also called, (1,-3)

Arelli uses 8.4 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 3 4 of this amount is blue paint, and the rest i

Rina8888 [55]

Answer: 2.1 Pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Areli uses 8.4 Pints of blue and White Paint

If the three-fourth is blue paint i.e.

$\Rightarrow 8.4\times \dfrac{3}{4}=6.3\ \text{Pints}$

The remaining one-fourth is White Paint i.e.

$\Rightarrow 8.4\times \dfrac{1}{4}=2.1\ \text{Pints}$

What is the maximum number of possible extreme values for the function,<br> f(x) = х2 -7x – 6?

timama [110]

Answer:

Only one extreme value of f(x) is possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the quadratic function of independent variable x which is f(x) = x² - 7x - 6 ......(1)

Now. the condition for extreme values of f(x) is $\frac{df(x)}{dx} =0$

Hence, differentiating both sides of equation (1) with respect to x, we get

$\frac{df(x)}{dx} = 2x -7$ = 0

⇒ x = 3.5.

So there is only one value of x for which f(x) has extreme value which is x = 3.5.

Therefore, only one extreme value of the given function is possible. (Answer)

Find (fog)(x) when f(x)=x^2-7x+12 and g(x)=3/x^2-16

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$f( \frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 } ) = ({\frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 }})^{2} - 7(\frac{3}{ {x}^{2} - 16 }) + 12 \\ = \frac{9}{ {x}^{4} - 32 {x}^{2} + 256 } - \frac{21}{ {x}^{2} - 16} + 12$

Cyril has six more than twice as many mangoes as Kubie and half as many mangoes as Maxine. If Kubie has six mangoes, then, in te

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(7x + 18) or 60 Mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of mangoes Kubie possesses be x

So,

Cyril has mangoes = 2x + 6 ...(i)

So,

Maxine has = 2 * (2x + 6)

= 4x + 12

Given that,

Kubie has mangoes = 6

∵ The combined mangoes they have in terms of x,

= Cyril + Kubie + Maxine

= (2x + 6) + x + (4x + 12)

= 7x + 18

A.T.Q.

Cyril has = 2x + 6

∵ Cyril has mangoes = 2 * (6) + 6

= 18 mangoes

∵ Maxine has = 2 * Cyril's mangoes

= 2 * 18

= 36

Thus,

Total mangoes = Cyril + Kubie + Maxine

= 18 + 6 + 36

= 60 Mangoes
