Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

202 tickets are sold. a child costs $6 and an adult ticket costs $10. How may tickets of each were sold if the receipts totaled
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The number of child tickets = 78 and the number of adult tickets = 124

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of child ticket is x and the adult ticket is y

∴ x + y =202 ⇒ (1)

∵ The cost of child ticket is $6 and adult ticket is $10

∴ 6x + 10 y = 1708 ⇒ (2)

Solve the system of equations (1) and (2)

Multiply (1) by -6 to eliminate x

∴ -6x + -6y = -1212 ⇒ (3)

Add (2) and (3)

∴ 4y = 496

∴ y = 124

Substitute the value of y in (1)

∴ x + 124 = 202 ⇒ x = 202 - 124 = 78

∴ The number of child tickets = 78 and the number of adult tickets = 124

A scale drawing for a rectangular parking lot measures 6.8 cm by 12.3 cm. The scale is 5 cm : 25 m. Find the area of the parking
Lena [83]
The area is 2091 m squared because if you make a ratio of centimeters over meters and solve for how long each side is which should be 34m and 61.5m. Then, to find the area, use the formula A=lw to find that the area is 2091
