Sorry this is late but for anyone who still needs it the answer is D. It decreases gross pay by $65.
I just had this on my test, hope it helps :)
36 and 48
a = b+12
a+b = 84
(b+12) + b =84
2b +12 = 84
2b = 72
b= 36
a = b + 12
a = 36 + 12
a = 48
Answer: The total number of logs in the pile is 6.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two logs.
We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.
Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.
Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with
first term, a = 32 and common difference, d = -6.
We know that
the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.
Answer:
<u>375 Adult Tickets.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we can simply set up an equation using variable <em>x </em>in place of the unknown student/adult tickets.
x = # of <u>adult</u> tickets sold
x + 65 = # of <u>student</u> tickets sold.
1) x + x + 65 = 815 (set both ticket amounts equal to the total)
2) 2x + 65 = 815 (added common variables together)
3) 2x = 750 (negated the +65, subtracted it from both sides)
4) x = 375 (divided both sides by 2)
5) 815 - 375 = 440 (subtracted the x from the total number of <u>adult</u> tickets, to recieve the amount of <u>childrens</u>' tickets.
Therefore,
Since there were fewer adult tickets sold (-65), 375 is the number of adult tickets, and 440 is the number of student tickets.
