harina [27]

Answer:

The price of one adult ticket = $13

The price of one student ticket = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x

Let the price of 1 student ticket = y

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 12 adult tickets and 10 student tickets for a total of $196.

12 × x + 10 × y = $196

12x + 10y = 196....... Equation 1

The school took in $59 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 5 student tickets

3 × x + 5 × y = $59

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2

Using Elimination method

We eliminate y, by Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and Equation 2 by 10

12x + 10y = 196....... Equation 1 × 5

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2 × 10

60x + 50y = 980....... Equation 3

30x + 50y = 590......... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

30x = 390

x = 390/30

x = $13

Therefore, the price of one adult ticket = $13

Remember: x = $13

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2

Substitute

3(13) + 5y = 59

39 + 5y = 59

5y = 59 - 39

5y = 20

y = 20/5

y = $4

Therefore, the price of one student ticket = $4

A rock is dropped off a 500-foot cliff. After 1 second the rock is traveling 32 feet per second then after 4 seconds the rock st

kozerog [31]

Answer:

A. The equation describing the relationship between speed and time is:

s = 32t

Ordered pairs of the form (speed, time) are:

(32, 1)

(64, 2)

(96, 3)

(128, 4)

B.

Using s = 32t, we have:

s = 32 * 5 = 160 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Height of the cliff = 500 feet

Speed after one second = 32 feet per second

Speed after four seconds = 128 feet per second

2. Assume the relationship between time, t, and speed, s, is linear and write an equation describing the relationship. Use ordered pairs of the form (speed, time)

The equation describing the relationship between speed and time is:

s = 32t

Ordered pairs of the form (speed, time) are:

(32, 1)

(64, 2)

(96, 3)

(128, 4)

3. Use the equation to determine the speed of the rock 5 seconds after is dropped.

s = 32t

s = 32 * 5 = 160 feet per second
