Answer:

Adult: 50 tickets

Child: 34 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the amount of adult tickets

Let c be the amount of child tickets

Equation:

a + c = 84

14a + 9c = 1,006

Step 1: Multiply a + c = 84 with -9, to canceled c.

-9 (a + c = 84) → -9a - 9c = -756

14a + 9c = 1006 → 14a + 9c = 1006

Step 2: Combined the 2 equation together, and solved it.

-9a - 9c = -756

14a + 9c = 1006

5a = 250

5 5

a = 50

Step 3: Plug 50 into the one of the equation, and solved it.

a + c = 84 → 50 + c = 84

-50 -50

c = 34

Answer: Adult tickets (a) = 50 and Child tickets (c) = 34

To check the answer plug the two number into the equation ( Make sure to add 50 for a and 34 for c).

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.

Licemer1 [7]

So,

We are trying to find the compound probability of there BEING oil and the test predicting NO oil.

The percent chance of there actually being oil is 45%. We can convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

45% --> $\frac{45}{100}$

$\frac{45}{100}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}$

$\frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{3*3}{2*2*5}$

$\frac{3*3}{2*2*5}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{9}{20}$

That is the simplified fraction form.

The kit has an 80% accuracy rate. Since we are assuming that the land has oil, we need the probability that the kit predicts no oil.

The probability that the kit detects no oil will be the chance that the kit is not accurate, which is 20% (100 - 80 = 20). We can also convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

20% --> $\frac{20}{100}$

$\frac{20}{100}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{2}{10}$

$\frac{2}{10}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{5}$

That is the probability of the kit not being accurate (not predicting any oil).

To find the compound probability of there being oil and the kit not predicting any oil, we simply multiply both fractions together.

$\frac{9}{20}*\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{9}{20*5}$

$\frac{9}{100}$

So the probability of there BEING oil and the kit predicting NO oil is 9 in 100 chances.

Determine the equation whose roots are –1 –5 and –3

Alexus [3.1K]

Well you are given the roots.

if we have 3 it would.have to be x^3. So something like:

y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d

this could.also be written:

y = (x + a) (x + b) (x + c)

when you are able to write it like this, we know that the opposite of a, b, and c are roots. this is because if we can make any of the insides of the 3 parenthesis equal 0 then y = 0 and that x.is a root. Well if we know the 3 roots that x will be then we just have to figure out the a, b, and c. So let's plug our roots in.

y = (-1 + a) (-5 + b) (-3 + c)

now we have to make each parenthesis equal 0 to find what a, b, and c should be. It is obvious a = 1 to make.that one zero and b = 5 and c = 3. So we know a, b, and c. now let's plug.those into our first equation.

y = (x + 1) (x + 5) (x + 3)

this is your equation. You can multiply out if necessary
