We have 2 types of tickets, A tickets and B tickets.  The total number of tickets sold was 500, so an equation for this NUMBER of tickets is A + B = 500.  The MONEY equation is something different.  A tickets cost 10, so they are represented by 10A; B tickets cost 60, so they are represented by 60B.  The total dollar sales for A and B are 6000.  Our money equation for the sales is 10A + 60B = 6000.  Solve the first equation for A:  A = 500 - B.  Sub that value for A into the second equation to solve for B:  10(500-B) + 60B = 6000.  Distribute through the parenthesis to get 5000 - 10B + 60B = 6000.  Combine like terms to get 50B = 1000.  B = 20.  There were 20 type B tickets sold.  A = 500 - B, so A = 500 - 20 and A = 480.  There were 480 type A tickets sold.

A turtle population grows in a manner that closely resembles a geometric sequence. Given the table of values, determine the turt
AleksandrR [38]

The turtle population will be 486 after 5 years.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

The general form of a geometric progression or geometric sequence is a, ar, ar², ar³ and so on.

where,

  • a = first term
  • r = common ratio

<u>The formula to find the nth term in GP is :</u>

nth term = ar^{n-1}

The given sequence 6,18,54.

In this sequence,

  • The first term, a = 6
  • The common ratio, r = 18/6 = 3

5th term = 6\times3^{5-1}

⇒ 6\times3^{4}

⇒ 6\times81

⇒ 486

Therefore, after 5 years the population will be 486.

The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 137 units. The length of one leg of the triangle is 105. Gina wrote the foll
OLga [1]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 = c^2 - a^2
b^2 = 137^2 - 105^2
b^2 = 18769 - 11025
b^2 = 7744
b = sqrt 7744
b = 88

Gina's step is not correct... the length of the unknown leg is not 7744, it is the sqrt of 7744, which is 88

Xy=k, whenever the product of two variables is a constant it is called inverse variation.  This is an inverse relationship, intuitively because, as the value of one variable increases, the other decreases and vice versa.

It is easy to spot as xy=k or y=k/x.
