The 9th graders are selling tickets to raise money for a class field trip. They are selling student tickets for $5 and adult tic

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the number of student tickets sold.

Let $y$ be the number of adult tickets sold.

As per the question statement, total tickets sold are 40.

$x +y =40 ...... (1)$

Price of each student ticket = $5

Sales from students' tickets = Price of each students ticket $\times$ Number of students tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 5 $\times x$

Price of each adult ticket = $9

Sales from adult's tickets = Price of each adult's ticket $\times$ Number of adult tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 9 $\times y$

Total sales is done by students and adult tickets is $240 as per the question statement.

$\Rightarrow 5x + 9y = 240 ......(2)$

Solving equations (1) and (2) using elimination method:

Equation $(2) - 5 \times (1)$ :

$5x + 9y -5x-5y = 240-200\\\Rightarrow 4y = 40\\\Rightarrow y =10$

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Putting $y=10$ in equation (1):

$x+10 = 40\\\Rightarrow x = 30$

Total number of students tickets sold = 30

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30

Three consecutive even numbers have a sum where one half of the sum is between 84 and 96

mamaluj [8]

86 *2 = 172

172/3 = 57.33

54 + 56 +58 =168

168/2 =84

56 + 58 +60 = 174

174/2 =87

58 +60 +62 = 180

180/2 = 90

60 +62 +64 = 186

186/2 = 93

62 +64+66 = 192

192/2 = 96

there are 3 sets of numbers that fall between 84 & 96

1 set equals 84 and 1 set equals 96

so if you are counting those there are 5 sets

Your friend claims that it is possible to draw a right triangle where the cosine of either angle (theta) is exactly the same val

avanturin [10]

Answer:

B. No

$Cos \ \theta\neq Cos (90-\theta)\textdegree$

Step-by-step explanation:

-A right angle triangle has two complimentary acute angles and one right angle.

- $\theta$ is usually one of the acute angles and is equivalent to 90º minus it's complimentary acute angle.

-Complimentary angles add up to 90º.

#For complimentary angles:

$Sin \ \theta=Cos \ (90-\theta)\textdegree\\\\Cos \ \theta=Sin(90-\theta)\textdegree\\\\\therefore Cos \ \theta\neq Cos (90-\theta)\textdegree$

The two acute angles cannot have the same Cosine value.

Hence, she's not correct.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A) x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{5x^2-40x=5x(x-8)}$

because

$\mathsf{5x(x-8)=5x\cdot x-5x\cdot8=5x^2-40x}$

How to solve this one

Stells [14]

Answer:

(-5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add it together

3x - 2x = x

y - y = 0

9 - 14 = -5

x = -5

Choose a random equation, doesn't matter.

3x + y = -14

3(-5) + y = -14

-15 + y = -14

y = -14 + 15

y = 1
