First, x+y=60 and solve for x

x= 60-y

Then set up the equation 11x+6y=460

Since, x=60-y, you plug in for y

11(60-y)+6y=460

660-11y+6y=460

660-5y=460

660-660-5y=460-660

-5y=-200

Divide both sides by 5 (you can drop the negative because they are both negative)

5y/5 = 200/5

y=40

Then take y & plug it back into the original equation of:

x+y = 60 (solve for x)

x+40=60

x+40-40=60-40

x=20

The answer is 20 adult tickets (x) and 40 child tickets (y) were sold.

Answer:

All real numbers are solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

7x− 3 = − 3 + 7x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

7x − 3 = −3 + 7x

7x + −3 = −3 + 7x

7x − 3 = 7x − 3

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

7x− 3 −7x = 7x −3 −7x

−3 = −3

Step 3: Add 3 to both sides.

−3 + 3 = −3 + 3

0 =  0

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the mosquito population is a function of rainfall and can be approximated by the formula

N(x)= -x^3+45x^2+1000

where x is the number of inches of rainfall.

N(x)= -x^3+45x^2+1000

Differentiating with respect to x

N'(x)= -3x^2+90x

Again differentiating with respect to x

N''(x)=-6x+90

Now we set N'(x)=0

-3x^2+90x=0

\Rightarrow -3x(x-30)=0

\Rightarrow x=0,30

N''(0)=-6.0+90=90>0

N''(30)=-6.30+90=-90

Since at x=30, N''(x)<0, So at x=30, N(x) has maximum value.

Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.
