Answer:

According to the angle addition postulate, if B lies on AC, than AB+BC=AC.

We can use this to create this equation.

x+12+2.4=26 Where x+12 is the value of AB and 2.4 is BC.

The next step is to combine like terms, so we add 12 to 2.4 to get

x+14.4=26. When trying to find the value of a variable, you must isolate it. To do this for this equation, we must subtract 14.4 from both sides which will give you.

x=11.6

I need help with coming up with equation
Natali5045456 [20]

Let's call a child's ticket c and an adult's ticket a. From this, we can say:

c + a = 116,

since 116 tickets are sold in total.


Now, we are going to need to find another equation (the problem asks us to solve a systems of equations). This time, we are not going to base the equation on ticket quantity, but rather ticket price. We know that an adult's ticket is $17,000, and a child's ticket is thus

\$17000 \cdot (1 - \dfrac{1}{4}) = \$12750.


Given these values, we can say:

17000a + 12750c = 1653250,

since each adult ticket a costs 17,000 and each child's ticket c costs 12,750, and these costs sum to 1,653,250.


Now, we have two equations:

17000a + 12750c = 1653250

c + a = 116


Let's solve:

17000a + 12750c = 1653250

a = 116 - c

  • Find a on its own, which will allow us to substitute it into the first equation

17000(116 - c) + 12750a = 1653250

  • Substitute in 116 - c for a

1972000 - 17000c + 12750c = 1653250

  • Apply the Distributive Property

1972000 - 4250c = 1653250

  • Combine like terms

4250c = 318750

  • Subtract 1972000 from both sides of the equation and multiply both sides by -1

c = 75


We have now found that 75 child's tickets were sold. Thus,

75 + a = 116 \Rightarrow a = 116 - 75 = 41,

41 adult tickets were sold as well.


In sum, 41 adult tickets were sold along with 75 child tickets.

Consider U = {x\x is a real number}
zysi [14]

Answer:

The fourth pair of statement is true.

9∈A, and 9∈B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

U={x|  x is real number}

A={x| x∈ U and x+2>10}

B={x| x∈ U and 2x>10}

  • 5 ∈ A , 5 ∈ B

If 5∈ A, Then it will be satisfies x+2>10 , but 5+2<10.

Similarly, If 5∈ B, Then it will be satisfies 2x>10 , but 2.5=10.

So, 5∉A, and 5∉B.

  • 6 ∈ A , 6 ∈ B

If 6∈ A, Then it will be satisfies x+2>10 , but 6+2<10.

Similarly, If 6∈ B, Then it will be satisfies 2x>10 , and 2.6=12>10.

So, 6∉A, and 6∈B.

  • 8 ∈ A , 8 ∈ B

If 8∈ A, Then it will be satisfies x+2>10 , but 8+2=10.

Similarly, If 8∈ B, Then it will be satisfies 2x>10.  2.8=16>10.

So, 8∉A, and 8∈B.

  • 9 ∈ A , 9 ∈ B

If 9∈ A, Then it will be satisfies x+2>10 , but 9+2=11>10.

Similarly, If 9∈ B, Then it will be satisfies 2x>10.  2.9=18>10.

So, 9∈A, and 9∈B.

Ahmad wants to practice free-throws. He estimates the distance from the free-throw Line to the hoop and marks it with chalk. Ahm
const2013 [10]

Answer: 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between his estimated and actual distance is 15 - 13.5 = 1.5

The percentage of error is the difference divided by the actual value.

1.5÷15 = 0.10

Converted to a percentage, it is 10%

What is the answer to -6n^2 - 5n - 7 = -8
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

n = \frac{1}{3} , n = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

6n² - 5n - 7 = - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )

6n² - 5n + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the product of the factors of the coefficient of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term

product = 6 × 1 = 6 and sum = - 5

The factors are - 3 and - 2

Use these factors to split the n- term

6n² - 3n - 2n + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3n(2n - 1) - 1(2n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2n - 1) from each term

(2n - 1)(3n - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{3}

2n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{2}
