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.

4x^2 + 36 / 4x × 1 / 5x
stich3 [128]
Given with a polynomial 4X² + 36/4X *1/5X, we can combine terms with the same power. First, let us perform multiplication of the 2nd and 3rd terms such as the given become 4X² + 36/20X². Then, we can reduce 36 and 20 by 4 and the result is 4X² + 9/5X². We can now proceed combining the terms since they have same power and result will be same as below:
(20X^4 + 9)/5X²

Maureen walked 3 miles how many feet did she walk
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

15,840 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Maureen walked 3 miles. We are asked to convert the distance walked by Maureen in feet.

Since we know that 1 mile equals 5,280 feet, so to convert our given distance we will multiply 3 by 5,280.

\text{Number of feet Maureen walked}=\text{3 miles}\times \frac{5,280\text{ feet}}{\text{Mile}}

\text{Number of feet Maureen walked}=3\times 5,280\text{ feet}

\text{Number of feet Maureen walked}=15,840\text{ feet}

Therefore, Maureen walked 15,840 feet.

The area of a triangle is 195 square centimeters. The length of the base is 26 centimeters. What is the height of the triangle?
Natali5045456 [20]
To find the area of a triangle uses the equation base*height/2. For this equation, we have 26 * h/2 = 195. This means that 26 * h = 195 * 2.
26 * 15 = 390, so your answer is 15 cm.
