Answer:

Sarah bought 7 coach tickets and 4 first class tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y=11 (1)

240x+1100y=6080 (2), where:

x is the number of coach tickets

y is the number of first class tickets

In order to find the value of x and y, first you have to solve for x in (1):

x=11-y (3)

Now, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

240(11-y)+1100y=6080

2640-240y+1100y=6080

860y=6080-2640

860y=3440

y=3440/860

y=4

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find the value of x:

x=11-y

x=11-4

x=7

According to this, the answer is that Sarah bought 7 coach tickets and 4 first class tickets.

Can somebody prove this mathmatical induction?

Flauer [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 step:

n=1, then

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^1 2^j=2^1=2\\ \\2(2^1-1)=2(2-1)=2\cdot 1=2$

So, for j=1 this statement is true

2 step:

Assume that for n=k the following statement is true

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

3 step:

Check for n=k+1 whether the statement

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

is true.

Start with the left side:

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}\ \ (\ast)$

According to the 2nd step,

$\sum \limits_{j=1}^k2^j=2(2^k-1)$

Substitute it into the $\ast$

$\sum \limits _{j=1}^{k+1}2^j=\sum \limits _{j=1}^k2^j+2^{k+1}=2(2^k-1)+2^{k+1}=2^{k+1}-2+2^{k+1}=2\cdot 2^{k+1}-2=2^{k+2}-2=2(2^{k+1}-1)$

So, you have proved the initial statement

3 cans store 9 tennis balls. Write an equation to represent the realationship

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y = 3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the equation, put it this way. For every 3 cans, there are 9 tennis balls. So if you put it as 9/3, that means that for every can, there are 3 tennis balls. y = 3x. The x is the variable for how many cans there are. If there are 5 cans, the five would multiply by 3 and then thats your answer.

I hope I helped.

Brainliest would be appreciated.

Have a nice day.
