It's a 4th degree polynomial since the largest degree (exponent) is 4
Y=24 Y-12=12 Y=12+12 Y=24
(X-12) = 12
X = 12+12
X=24
Answer:
237
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a system of equations.
The theater sold 364 adult and child tickets, so a + c = 364
They made a total of $1930. Each adult ticket was $6 & child tickets were $4. The second equation is 6a + 4c = 1930.
Let's line them up
a + c = 364
6a + 4c = 1930
Since we need to solve for the number of adult tickets, we want to get rid of the c variable. I'm going to multiply the entire first equation by -4 to do this. The second equation stays the same. Now, I have:
-4a - 4c = -1456
6a + 4c = 1930 Add them together
----------------------
2a = 474 Divide by 2 to solve for a
a = 237
There were 237 adult tickets sold
Since the probability of the coin landing leads is 1/2, simply cube 1/2 to arrive at your answer: 1/8.
You cube 1/2 because you must land heads three times in a row and each flip is independent from other flips.
