Answer:

The number of adults who saw a movie that day is 7

and

the pair of equations that can be solved to find the numbers is

6x+y = 70

x + y = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. of adults who saw the move be x

Let the total no. of child who saw the move be y

Given that the total number of adults (a) and children (c) who saw a movie was 35

thus. x + y = 35

cost of ticket for 1 adult = $6

cost of ticket for 1*x  adult = $6*x = $6x

cost of ticket for x  adult = $6x

cost of ticket for 1 child = $1

cost of ticket for 1*y  child = $1*y = $y

cost of ticket for y  child =  $y

Total cost for  x adult and y child = $(6x+y)   _______(2)

Given that he total money collected was $70

Thus, we have two equations

6x+y = 70  -------(1)

x + y = 35

y = 35 - x  (using this value of y in equation 1 we have)

6x + 35 - x = 70

=> 5x = 70 -35 = 35

=> x = 35/5 = 7

The number of adults who saw a movie that day is 7

and

the pair of equations that can be solved to find the numbers is

6x+y = 70

x + y = 35

18 bikes, 9 have gears (G), 11 have suspension (S) and 5 with both,What is the probability that a bike with suspension or gears?
vichka [17]

Answer:

  • 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total number of bikes = 18
  • Bikes with gears S = 9
  • Bikes with suspension S = 11
  • Bikes with both GS = 5

<u>From the information above we have:</u>

  • Bikes with gears only = 9 - 5 = 4
  • Bikes with suspension only = 11 - 5 = 6

<u>Sum of the above two gives us the number of bikes with suspension or gears:</u>

  • 4 + 6 = 10

<u>Probability of selected bike be G or S is:</u>

  • P(G or S) = 10/18 = 5/9

Recursive formula for 26, 24, 22, 20
dexar [7]

Answer:

a_n = 28-2n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

26,24,22,20

We can see that the difference between consecutive terms is same so the sequence is an arithmetic sequence

The standard formula for arithmetic sequence is:

a_n = a_1+(n-1)d

Here,

a_n is the nth term

a_1 is the first term

and d is the common difference

So,

d = 24-26

= -2

a_1 = 26

Putting the values of d and a_1

a_n = 26 + (n-1)(-2)\\a_n = 26-2n+2\\a_n = 28-2n

Hence, the recursive formula for given sequence is: a_n = 28-2n ..
