Stacy is selling tickets for the school play. She has a total of 200 seats available, and there will be two types of tickets off

Ganezh [65]

She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Stacy is selling tickets for the school play

She has a total of 200 seats available, and there will be two types of tickets offered, child and adult tickets
She sold each child ticket for $6 , each adult ticket for $10 , and made a total of $1704

We need to find how many of each ticket she sold

Assume that x is the number of child tickets and y is the number of the adult tickets

∵ She has a total of 200 seats available

∵ She sold x child tickets

∵ She sold y adult tickets

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 200

∴ x + y = 200 ⇒ (1)

∵ She sold each child ticket for $6

∵ She sold each adult ticket for $10

∵ She made a total of $1704

- Multiply x by 6 and y by 10, then add the products and

equate them by 1704

∴ 6x + 10y = 1704 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equation to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -10 to eliminate y

∵ -10x - 10y = -2000 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3) to find x

∴ -4x = -296

- Divide both sides by -4

∴ x = 74

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 74 + y = 200

- Subtract 74 from both sides

∴ y = 126

She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets

Find the inverse of the given function

xenn [34]

For this case, we must find the inverse of the following function:

$f (x) = \frac {5x + 1} {- x + 7}\\x\neq 7$

To find the inverse we follow the steps below:

$y = \frac {5x + 1} {- x + 7}$

We rewrite the denominator:

$y = \frac {5x + 1} {- (x-7)}\\y = - \frac {5x + 1} {(x-7)}$

We exchange variables:

$x = - \frac{5y + 1} {(y-7)}$

We solve for y:

We multiply on both sides of the equation by (y-7)

$x (y-7) = - 5y-1\\xy-7x = -5y-1$

We subtract xy on both sides of the equation:

$-7x = -5y-1-xy$

We add 1 to both sides:

$-7x + 1 = -5y-xy$

We factor for y:

$-7x + 1 = y (-5-x)$

We divide both sides by (-5-x):

$y = \frac {-7x + 1} {- 5-x}$

So, we have:

$f ^ {- 1} (x) = \frac {-7x + 1} {- 5-x}$

Answer:

$f ^ {- 1} (x) = \frac {-7x + 1} {- 5-x}$

$x\neq -5$

A triangle with sides of lengths 32,60 and 68 is a right triangle ?

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle's sides add up to 180 but adding 32, 60, and 68 only gives you 160. So, no. That triangle is not a right triangle.
