Answer:

The price of one senior citizen ticket is $8, and the price of one child ticket is $11.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for two things: the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket.

We need to write two equations using two variables.

Let s = price of 1 senior citizen ticket.

Let c = price of 1 child ticket.

First day of ticket sales:

6 senior citizen tickets, 8 child tickets, total sales of $136

Since s is the price of a senior citizen ticket, 6 tickets cost 6s.

Since c is the price of a child ticket, 8 tickets cost 8c.

The total sales is 6s + 8c.

The total sales is $136, so our first equation is

6s + 8c = 136

Now we do the same for the second day of ticket sales.

6 senior citizen tickets, 9 child tickets, total sales of $147.

Since s is the price of a senior citizen ticket, 6 tickets cost 6s.

Since c is the price of a child ticket, 9 tickets cost 9c.

The total sales is 6s + 9c.

The total sales is $147, so our second equation is

6s + 9c = 147

The system of equations is

6s + 8c = 136

6s + 9c = 147

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -1. Write the second equation below it. Then add the equations.

       -6s - 8c = -136

(+)     6s + 9c = 147

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

                  c =   11

c = 11, so the cost of a child ticket is $11.

Now substitute 11 for c in the first equation, and solve for s.

6s + 8c = 136

6s + 8(11) = 136

6s + 88 = 136

6s = 48

s = 8

The price of a senior citizen ticket is $8.

The price of a senior citizen ticket is $8, and the price of a child ticket is $11.

Write an equation of the circle with center (-7,4) and radius 11.
olga_2 [115]

Answer: (x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 121  or  (x+7)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 11^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 , which is the center (h,k) and the radius r^2

-Place the center (-7,4) and radius 11 onto that equation:

(x+7)^2+(y-4)^2=121 (if simplified radius needed)

or

(x+7)^2(y-4)^2=11^2
