Answer:

The no. of adult's tickets sold is 25.

The no. of adult's tickets sold is 247

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Tickets for a basketball game cost $2 for students and $5 for adults.

The number of students was 3 less than 10 times the number of adults.

The total amount of money from ticket sales was $619.

To Find : No. of each ticket were sold

Solution :

Let x be the no. of the student's tickets sold

Let y be the no. of adult's tickets sold

Since we are given that The number of students was 3 less than 10 times the number of adults.

⇒ x = 10y -3 --(A)

Now cost of 1 student's ticket is $2

Thus, cost of x student's ticket is $2x

Now cost of 1 adult's ticket is $5

Thus,cost of y adult's ticket is $5y

Since we are given that the total amount of money from ticket sales was $619.

⇒2x +5y =619 ---(B)

Solving equation A and B by substitution method :

putting value of x from (A) in (B)

We get :

⇒2( 10y -3) +5y =619

⇒20y-6+5y= 619

⇒25y = 625

⇒y = 625/25

⇒y=25

Thus,  the no. of adult's tickets sold is 25.

Putting value of y in equation A to get value of x .

⇒x = 10(25) -3

⇒x = 247

Thus the no. of adult's tickets sold is 247

Resolver la siguiente ecuación por eliminación o sustitución: a-8b= -9 a-2b= -7
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: Solution: a=\dfrac{-19}{3} and b=\dfrac{1}{3} .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given pair of equations:

a-8b= -9\ ...(i)\\\\ a-2b= -7\ ...(ii)

Eliminate equation (i) from (ii) , we get

-2b-(-8b)=-7-(-9)\\\\\Rightarrow\ -2b+8b=-7+9\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6b=2\\\\\Rightarrow\ b=\dfrac{1}{3}

Put value of b in (ii) , we get

a-2\times\dfrac{1}{3}=-7\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=-7+\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=\dfrac{-21+2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=\dfrac{-19}{3}

Solution: a=\dfrac{-19}{3} and b=\dfrac{1}{3} .

A manufacturer is designing a flashlight. For the flashlight to emit a focused beam, the bulb needs to be on the central axis of
aalyn [17]
From the problem, the vertex = (0, 0) and the focus = (0, 3)
From the attached graphic, the equation can be expressed as:
(x -h)^2 = 4p (y -k)
where (h, k) are the (x, y) values of the vertex (0, 0)
The "p" value is the difference between the "y" value of the focus and the "y" value of the vertex.
p = 3 -0
p = 3
So, we form the equation
(x -0)^2 = 4 * 3 (y -0)
x^2 = 12y
To put this in proper quadratic equation form, we divide both sides by 12
y = x^2 / 12
