Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the number of children to n.

The number of adults is, thus, n + 25.

The total price of admission is $720, made up of adult tickets and child tickets.

The children paid $8 per child, or

8 * n

The adults paid $15 per adult, or

15 * (n + 25)

These sum of these is equal to the total cost of $720.

8*n + 15*(n + 25) = 720

8n + 15(n + 25) = 720

Multiplying 15 with both n and 25.

8n + 15n + 25*15 = 720

8n + 15n + 375 = 720

Subtracting 375 from both sides.

8n + 15n + 375 - 375 = 720 - 375

8n + 15n = 345

Adding together 8n and 15n.

23n = 345

Dividing both sides by 23.

n = 345/23 = 15

n = 15

As n is the number of children, there are 15 children in the group.

Which lines are perpendicular to the line y - 1 = 1/3 (x+2)? Check all that apply.
ioda

Answer: Options 1, 3, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so since the slope of the given line is 1/3, we need to find lines with a slope of -3.

  • Option 1 has a slope of -3.
  • Option 2 has a slope of 3.
  • Option 3 has a slope of -3.
  • Option 4 has a slope of 1/3.
  • If we subtract 3x from both sides, we get y=-3x+7, so option 5 has a slope of -3.

A function is expressed by the equation y=0.3x−6. For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be e
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

0; 10; 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the independent variable

y is the dependent variable

y is dependent on x

a) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −6

y=0.3x−6

-6 = 0.3x-6

0=0.3x

x = 0

Therefore, if the independent variable is 0, the value of the function will be -6.

b) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −3

y=0.3x−6

-3 = 0.3x-6

0.3x = -3+6

0.3x = 3

x = 3/0.3

x = 10

Therefore, if the independent variable is 10, the value of the function will be -3.

c) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to 0.

y=0.3x−6

0=0.3x-6

6 = 0.3x

x = 6/0.3

x = 20

Therefore, if the independent variable is 20, the value of the function will be 0.

Answer:

  63

Step-by-step explanation:

Reversing the digits changes the value by a factor of 9 times the difference in the digit values. Here, this means the digits differ by 27/9 = 3. If one digit is double the other, the higher digit is 2×3 = 6.

The number is 63.

_____

If you like, you can work through the algebra of it. Let the original number have tens digit x and ones digit y.

  original number value = 10x +y

  reversed number value = 10y +x

  difference of values = 27 = (10x +y) -(10y +x) = 9(x -y)

The tens digit is twice the ones digit, so we have ...

  x = 2y

Substituting in the difference equation, we have ...

  27 = 9(x -y)

  3 = (2y -y) = y . . . . . divide by 9, substitute for x

  x = 2(3) = 6

The number is 10x+y = 63.
