Answer: 102 children and 41 adults swam at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that swam at the public pool that​ day.

Let y represent the number of adult that swam at the public pool that​ day.

On that certain hot​ summer's day, 143 people used the public swimming pool. It means that

x + y = 143

The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.25 for adults. The receipts for admission totaled $219.75. It means that

1.25x + 2.25y = 219.75- - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 143 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.25(143 - y) + 2.25y = 219.75

178.75 - 1.25y + 2.25y = 219.75

- 1.25y + 2.25y = 219.75 - 178.75

y = 41

x = 143 - y = 143 - 41

x = 102

Two of your friends go bowling. One friend rents a pair of bowling shoes for $3 and bowls 3 games. The other friend brings his o
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: The cost of each game is $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the equations for each friend:

Friend 1:

Pays $3 for the shoes, and plays 3 games, then if X is the cost of each game, Friend 1 pays a total of:

$3 + 3*X

Friend 2:

This friend buys a soda for $0.50, and he plays 4 games, remember that the cost of each game was X. then this friend pays:

$0.50 + 4*X

And we know that both friends pay the exact same amount, then we can write:

$3 + 3*X = $0.50 + 4*X

And solve this for X.

We need to isolate X, then we can move all the terms with X to the right, and all the terms without X to the left:

$3 - $0.50 = 4*X - 3*X

$2.50 = (4 - 3)*X = X

This means the cost of each game is $2.50

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given that the local ice cream shop is deciding whether or not to hire a new worker. The shop must pay the worker hourly and cover a daily cost for insurance. The cost to pay an hourly worker for one day is represented by the function y=10x+30 where x=hours.

We find that this is of the form y = mx + B where

m = 10 and B = 30

Hence slope = m = 10

Answer is 10,

and it represents the rate of change of y for a unit change in x.

2. The answer is the third option "No; the data doesn't suggest a causation, and many people are healthy who don't exercise." Correlation is two data set that are linked or connected together so in this case it would be a correlation because all of the data is close and connected to each other.

3. The answer is "Correlation, because time of day doesn't cause a person to run faster or slower ".

That's the correct answer because causation would mean there is a cause and effect and in the question, there is no cause. It can't be the last one because there is enough information. It also can't be the third one because there is a relationship since he shown he runs faster in the evening. Also I took the test and it was right!
