Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the types of tickets involved.

There are student tickets and adult tickets.

Create a table to organize the information.

,

506

 

Step 2. Identify what you are looking for.

We are looking for the number of student and adult tickets.

Step 3. Name. Represent the number of each type of ticket using variables.

We know the number of adult tickets sold was  

5

 less than three times the number of student tickets sold.

Let  

s

 be the number of student tickets.

Then  

3

s

−

5

 is the number of adult tickets.

Multiply the number times the value to get the total value of each type of ticket.

Step 6. Check. There were  

47

 student tickets at  

$6

 each and  

136

 adult tickets at  

$9

 each. Is the total value  

$1506

?

 We find the total value of each type of ticket by multiplying the number of tickets times its value; we then add to get the total value of all the tickets sold.

Step 7. Answer the question. They sold  

47

 student tickets and  

136

 adult tickets.

A rectangle with an area of 120 in 2 has a length 8 inches longer than two times its width. What is the width of the rectangle?
nlexa [21]

width = x

length = 2x+8

area = l x w

x<span>(2x+8)</span>=120

<span><span>2<span>x^2</span>+8x−120=0 </span> </span>

<span><span><span>x^2</span>+4−60=0 </span></span>

<span><span><span>(x+10)</span><span>(x−6)</span>=0</span> </span>

<span><span>x=−10 and x=6 </span></span>

<span><span> width has to be a positive number</span></span>

Width = <span>6 </span> inches.

Which graph represents a function? A coordinate plane shows 4 points with the following coordinates: (negative 3, 3), (negative
Jet001 [13]

The ordered pair that represents a function is:

⇒ (-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2)

<u>What are Coordinates?</u>

A pair of numbers that describe the exact position of a point on a cartesian plane by using horizontal and vertical lines are called the coordinates.

The given points are;

(-3, 3), (-3, -3), (-1, 1), (1, 4)

(-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2)

(-3, 3), (-3, -3), (1, -4), (1, 1)

(-4, 4), (-4, 1), (-2, 1), (2, 1)

Now, For an ordered pair to be a function, either of the following must be true:

Each x-value has exactly one corresponding y-value.

More than one x-values have the same corresponding y-values.

And, If any of the following conditions is true, then the ordered pair is not a function,

One x-value has multiple corresponding y-values.

More than one x-values have multiple corresponding y-values.

From the given options, only ordered pair  (-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2) satisfies the condition to be a function.

Because none of its x-values have multiple corresponding y-values.

And, Other ordered pairs are either one-to-many or many-to-many.

So, The ordered pair that represents a function is:

⇒  (-3, 3), (-2, -2), (1, 1), (2, -2)
