Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.25 = 125 cents.

$42 = 4200 cents

Tickets sold at 75 cents = x

Tickets sold at 125 cents = y

x + y = 40

75x + 125y = 4200

Multiply the first equation by 75

75x + 75y = 3000

75x + 125y = 4200

Subtract the the second equation from the first.

75x + 75y = 3000

- 75x + 125y = 4200

-------------------------------

0 - 150y = - 1200

Divide both sides by - 150

-150y/-150 = -1200/-150

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 into the first equation

x + y = 42

x + 8 = 42

x = 42 - 8

x = 34

34 tickets were sold for 75 cents

8 tickets were sold for $1.25

Hey guys, I need help with this word problem. I don't just want the answer. I would like the steps please!
ASHA 777 [7]
So, you take the equation for y given, y=0.28x+5.92. Then you substitute the values for x in, like so: 
y=0.28(2)+5.92=6.42
y=0.28(5)+5.92=7.17
y=0.28(8)+5.92=7.92
So There's your table. Next:
7.88=0.28x+5.92
x=7, so the year when admission was approximately $7.88 is year 7. 
Next, 
10.04=0.28x+5.92
x=<span>14.7142857143, which rounds to year 15. 
I hope this helps!</span>

Write a quadratic function that only has one root
AlekseyPX

Answer:

y= x squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphed, the parabola only has an x-intercept at (0,0). Since a root is another word for an x-intercept, it only has one root.

I hope this helps, and I hope you have a good day.
