Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
So, first you make sure to multiply the parenthesis by the negative so then it would be,
-x-3=2x-6
Then you add the -3 from the right to the other side
so, -x=2x-3
Then you want all the X variables to one side so you subtract the 2x to both sides.
so, -3x=-3
divide both by -3
x=1
Gary should be the correct choice because when you balance their checkbook correctly you should have a balanced or equal amount in both your check register and your bank statement.
Good luck! Please let me know if I have chosen the wrong answer. All though I am very confident in my answer.
Answer:
Maria: (50 bulbs)/(2 hours) = 25 bulbs/hour
Lois: (45 bulbs)/(3 hours) = 15 bulbs/hour
Together: 25 + 15 = 40 bulbs/hour
(150 bulbs)/(40 bulbs per hour) = 3 3/4 hours
(3/4 hours)(60 minutes/hour) = 45 minutes
Total time: 3 hours 45 minutes
Answer:
A and B
Step-by-step explanation:
3:4 multiplied by 2 is 6:8
3x2=6 4x2=8
3:4 multiplied by 3 is 9:12
3x3=9 4x3=12
