Answer:

Jimmy purchased 8 of the children's ticket and 7 of the adult's ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = children tickets

Let a = adult tickets

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Number of tickets = 15

Total amount spent = $140

Cost of each children ticket = $7

Cost of each adult ticket = $12

*Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation (system)*

<em>For the total number of tickets;</em>

c + a = 15 .........equation 1

<em>For the total amount spent;</em>

7c + 12a = 140 ..........equation 2

*Solving the linear equation by using the substitution method*

<em>Making c the subject in equation 1:</em>

c = 15 - a .......equation 3

<em>Substituting "c" into equation 2;</em>

7(15 - a) + 12a = 140

<em>Simplifying the equation, we have;</em>

105 - 7a +12a = 140

105 + 5a = 140

<em>Rearranging the equation, we have;</em>

5a = 140 - 105

5a = 35

a = \frac {35}{5}

a = 5 (For the $12 adult ticket).

To find the number of children tickets;

Substituting "a" into equation 3;

c = 15 - 7

c = 8 (For the $7 children ticket).

Answer:

0ft and 60ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached function

Required

Determine the valid values of the domain of the function

To do this, we simply consider the starting point and the end point of the trajectory on the x-axis (i.e. the horizontal distance).

From the attached graph, the horizontal distance starts from 0 and ends at 180.

This implies that the domain is: 0 \le x \le 180

From the options, the values that fall in this bracket are 0ft and 60ft
