Answer:

The price of a senior ticket is $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mr. Smith purchased 8 senior tickets and 5 child tickets for $136. Mr. Jackson purchased 4 senior tickets and 6 child tickets for $96.

Now, to get what is the price of a senior ticket.

Let the senior ticket be x and the child ticket be y:

So, according to question

8x+5y=136.........(1)

4x+6y=96...........(2)

Now, we have system of equations:

Multiplying the equation (2) by -2 we get:

-8x-12y=-192.......(3)

Now, adding the equation (3) and (1) the variables and the numbers:

-8x-12y+8x+5y=-192+136

-7y=-56

Dividing both sides by -7 we get:

y=8

Putting the value of y in equation (2) we get:

4x+6(8)=96

4x+48=96

On solving the equation we get:

x=12.

Therefore, the price of a senior ticket is $12.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

A. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality (k) = y/x

We can use the coordinates of any point on the line to find k.

Let's use (2, 8)

Constant of proportionality (k) = 8/2

Constant of proportionality (k) = 4

suppose someone tells you that she has a triangle with sides having lengths 2.6,8.1 and 8.6. Is this a right triangle? why or wh
sveta [45]
If you're only provided with the lengths of a triangle, and you're asked to determine whether or not the triangle is right or not, you'll need to rely on the Pythagorean Theorem to help you out. In case you're rusty on it, the Pythagorean Theorem defines a relationship between the <em>legs</em> of a right triangle and its <em>hypotenuse</em>, the side opposite its right angle. That relationship is a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the triangle, and c is its hypotenuse. To see if our triangle fits that requirement, we'll have to substitute its lengths into the equation.

How do we determine which length is the hypotenuse, though? Knowledge that the hypotenuse is always the longest length of a right triangle helps here, as we can clearly observe that 8.6 is the longest we've been given for this problem. The order we pick the legs in doesn't matter, since addition is commutative, and we'll get the same result regardless of the order we're adding a and b.

So, substituting our values in, we have:

(2.6)² + (8.1)² = (8.6)²

Performing the necessary calculations, we have:

6.76 + 65.61 = 73.96
72.37 ≠ 73.96

Failing this, we know that our triangle cannot be right, but we <em>do </em>know that 72.37 < 73.96, which tells us something about what kind of triangle it is. Imagine taking a regular right triangle and stretching its hypotenuse, keeping the legs a and b the same length. This has the fact of <em>increasing the angle between a and b</em>. Since the angle was already 90°, and it's only increased since then, we know that the triangle has to be <em>obtuse</em>, which is to say: yes, there's an angle in it larger than 90°.

Jakobe runs a coffee cart where he sells coffee for $1.50 tea for $2 , and donuts for $0.75 . On Monday, he sold 320 items and m
Andreyy89

Jakobe sold 150 coffee, 50 tea and 120 donuts at the coffee cart on Monday.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of coffee, y represent the amount of tea and z represent the amount of donuts, hence:

x + y + z = 320    (1)

Also:

1.5x + 2y + 0.75z = 415     (2)

And:

x = 3y     (3)

From the equations:

x = 150, y= 50 and z = 120

Jakobe sold 150 coffee, 50 tea and 120 donuts at the coffee cart on Monday.
