The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 senior

citizen ticket and 14 student tickets for a total of $225. The school took in $120 on the second day by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 1 student ticket. What is the price each of one senior citizen ticket and one student ticket?

x = price of a senior ticket

y = price of a student ticket

First day: x + 14y = $225

Second day: 7x + y = $120

Let's solve this system of equations by substitution

Subtract 14y from both sides on our first equation

First day: x = $225 - 14y

Substitute this value into our second equation for x

7($225 - 14y) + y = $120

Distribute the 7

$1575 - 98y + y = $120

Combine like terms

$1575 - 97y = $120

Subtract $1575 from both sides

-97y = -1455

Divide both sides by -97

y = $15

Plug this value into our first equation

x + 14(15) = $225

Simplify

x + $210 = $225

Subtract $210 from both sides

x = $15

The senior and student tickets cost $15

Solve the equation for 0 &lt;= x &lt; 2pi.<br><br> (2sin x - 1)(2cos^2 x - 1) = 0
marta [7]

If

(2 sin(x) - 1) (2 cos²(x) - 1) = 0

then either

2 sin(x) - 1 = 0   or   2 cos²(x) - 1 = 0

sin(x) = 1/2   or   cos(2x) = 0

The first equation gives two families of solutions,

x = arcsin(1/2) + 2nπ = π/6 + 2nπ

x = π - arcsin(1/2) + 2nπ = 5π/6 + 2nπ

where n is any integer; we get the solutions x = π/6 and x = 5π/6 in the interval 0 ≤ x < 2π when n = 0.

The second equation also gives two families of solutions,

2x = arccos(0) + 2nπ = π/2 + 2nπ

2x = -arccos(0) + 2nπ = -π/2 + 2nπ

Divide both sides by 2 :

x = π/4 + nπ

x = -π/4 + nπ

Then the solutions we want are x = π/4 and x = 5π/4 (when n = 0 and 1 in the first family, respectively) and x = 3π/4 and x = 7π/4 (when n = 1 and 2 in the second family).

We have 6 solutions, so A is the correct choice.

Solve for x by first setting up two equations. Then find the PRODUCT of your solutions |2x+5|=7
Kobotan [32]

Answer: see below

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x+5|=7

2x+5=±7 ⇔ since the absolutely value of any number is all positive, so the value in side can be either positive or negative

2x+5=7  or  2x+5=-7

    2x=2            2x=-12

      x=1      or       x=-6

----------------------------------------

The product of the two solutions

1 × -6=-6

Hope this helps!! :)
