$10.50a + $3.75b = $2,071.50 It is given that b = 82 Therefore - $10.50a + ($3.75)(82) = $2,071.50 or $10.50a + $307.50 = $2,071.50 $10.50a = $2,071.50 - $307.50 = $1,764.00 Therefore - a (number of adult tickets sold) = $1,764.00/$10.50 = 168 tickets

Answer: The number of adult tickets sold is 168.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the Jillian's school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students.

The ticket sales for opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation representing the situation is

10.50a+3.75b=2071.50~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold.

We are to calculate the number of adult tickets that were sold.

If 82 students attended, then b = 82.

Substituting the value of b in equation (i), we get

10.50a+3.75b=2071.50\\\\\Rightarrow10.50a+3.75(82)=2071.50\\\\\Rightarrow10.50a+307.5=2071.50\\\\\Rightarrow10.50a=2071.50-307.5\\\\\Rightarrow10.50a=1764\\\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{1764}{10.50}\\\\\Rightarrow a=168

Thus, the number of adult tickets sold is 168.

Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?
marusya05 [52]
Question:- Alana biked 12 miles in 48 minutes. What is Alana's speed in miles per minute?

Answer:-

Set up a proportion.

12/48 = 1/x

Cross multiply.

12*x = 12x
48*1 = 48

12x = 48

12x/12 = 48/12 

x= 48/12
x= 4

Now, we have our final answer. x = 4

Final answer:- Alana bikes 4 miles per minute.

Solve each system by substitution<br><br> 2x - 3y = -1<br> X + 4y = -6
lord [1]

Answer:

(- 2, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = - 1 → (1)

x + 4y = - 6 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 4y from both sides

x = - 6 - 4y → (3)

Substitute x = - 6 - 4y into (1)

2(- 6 - 4y) - 3y = - 1 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 12 - 8y - 3y = - 1

- 12 - 11y = - 1 ( add 12 to both sides )

- 11y = 11 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

y = - 1

Substitute y = - 1 into (3) for corresponding value of x

x = - 6 - 4(- 1) = - 6 + 4 = - 2

Solution is (- 2, - 1 )

What is the completely factored form of f(x) = 6x3 – 13x2 – 4x + 15?
masya89 [10]

We have to determine the complete factored form of the given polynomial

f(x)=6x^3-13x^2-4x+15.

Let x= -1 in the given polynomial.

So, f(-1)= 6(-1)^3-13(-1)^2-4(-1)+15 = -6-13+4+15 = 0

So, by factor theorem

(x+1) is a factor of the given polynomial.

So, dividing the given polynomial by (x+1), we get quotient as 6x^2-19x+15.

So, 6x^3-13x^2-4x+15 = (x+1)6x^2-19x+15.

= (x+1)(6x^2-10x-9x+15)

=(x+1)[ 2x(3x-5)-3(3x-5)]

= (x+1)(2x-3)(3x-5) is the completely factored form of the given polynomial.

Option D is the correct answer.
