Answer:

6 tickets were purchased at $47

8 tickets were purchased at $57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the tickets purchased at $47 be x

Let the tickets purchased at $57 be y

We can form an equation from the question given which will be:

x + y = 14 ....... i

47x + 57y = 738 ........ ii

From equation i

x = 14 - y ........ iii

Substitute iii into ii

47x + 57y = 738

47(14-y) + 57y = 738

658 - 47y + 57y = 738

Collect like terms

-47y + 57y = 738 - 658

10y = 80

y = 80/10

y = 8

8 tickets were purchased at $57

Note that from i

x + y = 14

x + 8 = 14

x = 14 - 8

x = 6

6 tickets were purchased at $47

What’s in a equation or Leniar function y axis 1 and negative 7 and x axis negative 3 and 1
Elodia [21]

A linear function is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. For example, a common equation,  

y

=

m

x

+

b

, (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with  

x

and  

y

as variables and  

m

and  

b

as constants.  It is linear: the exponent of the  

x

term is a one (first power), and it follows the definition of a function: for each input (

x

) there is exactly one output (

y

).  Also, its graph is a straight line.

Which has the larger area, a square with sides that are x +1 units long or a rectangle with a length of x +2 units and a width o
swat32

Answer:

A. Square

Explanation:

The square with sides: x+1

Has an area of: (x+1)^2

The rectangle with sides: x+2 and x

Has an area of: x(x+2)

So we simplify the square: (x+1).(x+1)= x^2+2x+1

Simplifying the rectangle: x^2+2x

Therefore the square area is larger by one unit.

Hope you get it!

The owners of an industrial plant want to determine which of two types of fuel (gas or electricity) will produce more useful ene
madreJ [45]

Answer:

d. H0: (\mu_e - \mu_g) = 0 vs. Ha: (\mu_e - \mu_g) \neq 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

On this case the Management try to determine if there is a difference in the average investment/quad between using electricity and using gas. So this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis. And the complement of the alternative hypothesis would be on the null hypothesis.  

Null hypothesis :\mu_e = \mu_g

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_e \neq \mu_g

Or equivalently:

Null hypothesis :\mu_e - \mu_g = 0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_e - \mu_g \neq 0

Other important thing is that on the alternative hypothesis we never can have the symbol equal.  

So on this case the best options is:

d. H0: (\mu_e - \mu_g) = 0 vs. Ha: (\mu_e - \mu_g) \neq 0
