Answer: Children tickets cost 7.50
Adult tickets cost 12.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a represent adult tickets
Let c represent child tickets
On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. This can be written as:
6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i
On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. This can be written as:
8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii
6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i
8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii
Multiply equation i by 4
Multiply equation ii by 5
24a + 20c = 450 ........ equation iii
40a + 20c = 650 ......... equation iv
Subtract iii from iv
16a = 200
a = 200/16
a = 12.50
Adult tickets cost 12.50
From equation ii,
8a + 4c = 130
8(12.50) + 4c = 130
100 + 4c = 130
4c = 130 - 100
4c = 30
c = 30/4
c = 7.50
Children tickets cost 7.50
Not necessarily, the more correct definition is opposite reciprocal slopes.
The example used is how horizontal and vertical lines are parallel. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0, also written as 0/1. However, vertical lines have an undefined slope, which isn't necessarily negative. It has a slope of 1/0, which is undefined. In this case, the reciprocal isn't negative.
In all other cases (1 and -1, 2 and -1/2, etc.) yes, the perpendicular pairs are negative and reciprocal.
Complete question :
At Alan's auto shop, it takes him 9 minutes to do an oil change and 12 minutes to do a tire change. Let x be the number of oil changes he does. Let y be the number of tire changes he does. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing how many oil changes and tire changes Alan can do in less than an hour ( minutes).
Answer:
9x + 12y < 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Time taken for oil change = 9 minutes
Time taken for tire change = 12 minutes
x = number of oil changes ; y = number of tire changes
Total hours = 1 hour = 60 minutes
Number of oil and Tyre changes possible in less than an hour
(Number of oil changes * time taken) + (number of tire changes * time taken) less than 60 minutes
9x + 12y < 120
$9 is discounted from the regular price. If you find the discounted price you get $21. Then subtract the 21 from 30 and you get 9
