Answer: the number of roses sold is 69 while number of tulips is 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of roses that the flower shop sold.

Let y represent the number of tulips that the flower shop sold.

The number of roses sold was 5 less than twice the number of tulips sold. This means that

x = 2y - 5 - - -- -- - - - - - ;1

If the shop sold 106 flowers in total, it means that

x + y = 106

Substituting x = 106 - y into equation 1, it becomes

106 - y = 2y - 5

3y = 106 + 5 = 111

y = 111/3 = 37

x = 106 - y = 106 - 37

x = 69

5. A Major League Baseball stadium sells three types of tickets. Reserved tickets are sold for $20 each, field-level tickets are
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: A) When all three ticket prices generate the same revenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reserved tickets cost $20 each.

Field-level tickets cost $50 each.

Seat tickets cost $100 each.

Then if x represents the number of reserved tickets sold, the total revenue for the reserved tickets will be:

R(x) = x*$20

If w represents the number of field-level tickets sold, the total revenue for field-level tickets will be:

F(w) = w*$50

If y represents the number of seat tickets sold, then the total revenue for the seat tickets will be:

S(y) = y*$100

Those equations will intersect when:

R(x) = F(w) = S(y)

This will mean that they will intersect when all three tickets have the same revenue, then the correct option is:

A) When all three ticket prices generate the same revenue.

Write the point-slope form of the given line that passes through the points (0, 3) and (4, 0). Identify (x1, y1) as the x-interc
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The point slope form of the line has the following form:

y – y1 = m (x – x1)

 

The slope m can be calculated using the formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

m = (3 - 0) / (0 – 4) = - ¾

 

So the whole equation is:

y – 0 = - ¾ (x – 4)

y = - ¾ (x – 4) or

<span>y = - 0.75 (x – 4)</span>
