Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X= each ticket for adults and Y= each ticket for kids

x+y=548

6.50x+3.50y=2881

subtract x from each side leaving you with y= -x+548

Plug in for Y

6.50x+3.50(-x+548)=2881

6.50x - 3.50x + 1918= 2881

3x+1918=2881 ....subtract

3x=963 .....divide by 3

X= 321 tickets for adults

321+y=548 ...subtract 321

Y=227 childrens tickets

Solve: 2x2-x = 21 {-7/2,3} {-3, 7/2}

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The answer is (-3,7/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 {x}^{2} - x - 21 = 0 \\ (2x - 7)(x + 3) = 0 \\ 2x - 7 = 0 \: \: \: or \: \: x + 3 = 0 \\ x = \frac{7}{2} \: \: and \: x = - 3$

Two times the smaller of two consecutive integers is equal to 2 more than the larger. What is the LARGER integer?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The larger integer is $4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two times the smaller of two consecutive integers is equal to $2$ more than the larger.

To find: The larger integer.

Solution:

Let the two consecutive integers be $x$ and $x+1$ , where the smaller integer is $x$ and larger integer is $x+1$ .

Now, according to question.

Two times the smaller integer $=$ $2$ more than the larger integer.

$\implies 2x=x+1+2$

$\implies 2x-x=3$

$\implies x=3$

So, the smaller integer is $3$ , and the larger integer is $3+1=4.$

Hence, the larger integer is $4.$

Y varies directly as x squared. y is 18 when x is 3. Find y if x is 4. Any help? thanks

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∝ x^2

Introducing the proportionality constant, we have

y = kx^2

Given : y= 18 when x = 3

substitute the given values in order to get the constant

i.e 18 = k x 3^2

18 = 9k

k = 2

therefore the formula connecting x and y

⇒ y = 2x^2

To find y if x is 4, just substitute x = 4 into the formula connecting x and y

i.e y = 2 x 4^2

= 2 x 16

= 32

Allegra has a cell-phone plan that charges $65 per month and $0.10 for every minute that she uses the phone beyond what her plan

Bond [772]

It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   8.40 = 0.10m
   84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.
