Answer:

68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where a is the number of adult tickets sold and c is the number of child tickets sold:

8a + 5c = 744

a = 2c - 12

Solve by substitution by substituting the second equation into the first one:

8(2c - 12) + 5c = 744

16c - 96 + 5c = 744

21c - 96 = 744

21c = 840

c = 40

So, 40 child tickets were sold. Plug this into the second equation to solve for a:

a = 2c - 12

a = 2(40) - 12

a = 80 - 12

a = 68

So, 68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

PLZ HELP ANSWER AND EXPLAIN. (photo) #8

The picture shown is a unfolded rectangular prism.

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

A = 2(WL+HL+HW)

(W = width, L = Length, H= Height)

So we would need to determine the Height, Length, and Width first, and then plug them into the formula and solve for the area.

In this case:
The height is: 4 cm 
The length is: 10.5 cm
The width is: 6.4 cm

Now that we have determined the height, length, and width, we simply plug them into the formula I showed earlier. 

In this case the answer would be 269.6.

Solve. 9(x+1)=4-2(9x+5)
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

-5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x+1)=4-2(9x+5)

Distribute

9x+9=4-18x-10

Add 4 and -10

9x+9=-6-18x

Move -18 to the left side and change sign

9x+9+18x=-6

Move 9 over and change sign

9x+18x=-6-9

Combine like terms

27x=-15

Divide both sides by 27

X=-5/9

Answer:

t ≥ 18

Step-by-step explanation:

He has run 12 miles plus some more miles t.  He need to run at least 30 miles

12+t ≥ 30

Subtract 12 from each side

12+t-12 ≥ 30-12

t ≥ 18

Total world consumption of iron was approximately 900 million tons in 1993. If consumption had increased by 2.5% each year and t
Lilit [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the annual consumption of iron by the equation

c = 900 million tons x 1.025^n, where

n is the number of years after 1993 and

c is the consumption for that year.

An estimate for the total consumption of iron can now be obtained by integrating this equation with respect to a dummy variable, x from 0 to n.

C = 900*10^6* \int\limits^n_0 {1.025^x} \, dx

This equation simplifies to

C = 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025), where

x is a dummy variable and

C is the total consumption of iron n years after 1993.

Let R be the amount of iron remaining at n years after 1993, so

R = 480 billion tons - C

R = 480 billion tons - 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025)

We need to find the value of n when R is 0, so

0 = 480 billion tons - 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025)

Simplify this equation to obtain

n = 107.4

So the iron will run out in the year 1993 + 107 = 2100
