Tickets for the baseball games were $2.50 for general admission and 50 cents for kids. If there were six times as many general a

dmissions sold as there were kids tickets, and the total receipts were $7750, how many of each type of ticket were sold?

There was 3000 general admission tickets sold and 500 kid ticket sold.

How did I get this?

First, we need to see what information we have.
$2.50 = General admission tickets = (G)
 $0.50 = kids tickets =  (K)
There were 6x as many general admission tickets sold as kids. G = 6K

We need two equations:
G = 6K  
$2.50G + $.50K = $7750
Since, G = 6K we can substitute that into the 2nd equation.

2.50(6K) + .50K = 7750
Distribute 2.50 into the parenthesis

15K + .50K = 7750
combine like terms

15.50K = 7750
Divide both sides by 15.50, the left side will cancel out.

K = 7750/15.50
K = 500 tickets
So, 500 kid tickets were sold.

Plug K into our first equation (G = 6k)

G = 6*500
G = 3000 tickets

So, 3000 general admission tickets were sold,

Let's check this:

$2.50(3000 tickets) = $7500 (cost of general admission tickets)
$.50(500 tickets) = $250 (cost of general admission tickets)
$7500 + $250 = $7750 (total cost of tickets)

Write in slope intercept form an equation of the line that passes through (-2,5),(-1,1)
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

y=-4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following two points: (-2,5) and (-1,1)

We want to write the equation of the line that passes through these two lines in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from 2 points is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

We have everything we need to calculate the slope, but let's label the value of the points to avoid any confusion

x_1=-2\\y_1=5\\x_2=-1\\y_2=1

Now substitute into the formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{1-5}{-1--2}
Simplify

m=\frac{1-5}{-1+2}

Subtract

m=\frac{-4}{1}

Divide

m=-4

Now substitute -4 as m into the equation:

y=-4x+b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through both (-2, 5) and (-1, 1), we can use either point to help solve for b.

Taking (-2,5) for example:

Substitute -2 as x and 5 as y:

5=-4(-2)+b

Multiply

5=8+b

Subtract 8 from both sides

-3=b

Substitute -3 as b.

y=-4x-3

Hope this helps!

Бу2 + 13y – 8 how to factorize this?​
Anettt [7]

Answer:

We have 6y² + 13y - 8. We can rewrite this as 6x² + 16x - 3x - 8. Grouping terms we get 2x(3x + 8) - (3x + 8) and since both terms have the common factor of (3x + 8) the answer is (3x + 8)(2x - 1).

F(x) = 12 + x<br> X<br> f(x)<br> -3<br> -1<br> 0<br> 4<br> 6
katen-ka-za [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (-3, 9), (-1, 11), (0, 12), (4, 16), (6, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function definition tells you that adding 12 to the x-value will give you the value of f(x).

  -3 +12 = 9, for example

The (x, f(x)) values for the table are shown above.

What is the solution to {2x +3y=11 and 3x+3y=18
ra1l [238]

Answer:

The ordered pair that satisfies the equation is (7, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we can solve by subtracting. Start by stacking the two equations on top of one another and subtracting like terms.

3x + 3y = 18

(-) 2x + 3y = 11

--------------------

x = 7

Now that we have the value for x, we can plug in to either equation to find y.

2x + 3y = 11

2(7) + 3y = 11

14 + 3y = 11

3y = -3

y = -1

Can someone help me with functions?
just olya [345]
Yes, the graph is a function and it does pass the vertical line test because when you hold a ruler up to it, you can see that the graph only hits one point at a time.(im not so sure about this, im sorry :/ )

Yes, your range is 2, since that is your y-intercept.

And your other answer choices are incorrect.
