Answer:
5x=15
Step-by-step explanation:
5pounds times the price per pound (x) equals $15
X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=118 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696
we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42
x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76
Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.
To simplify
we need to use the fact that
Why the absolute value? It's because .
We start by rewriting as
Since , we have , and the above reduces to
Then we pull out any 4th powers under the radical, and simplify everything we can:
where allows us to write , and this also means that . So we end up with
making the last option the correct answer.
Let the number be x, then
1/5 * x = 2/3 * 90
1/5 x = 60
x = 60 * 5 = 300 (answer)
Forget the '34' part of 8:34 and the '18' minutes from 3 hours and 18 minutes for now.
Just add 3 hours on to 8, to get 11. Then, bring back the 34 and 18 and add them together. 34 + 12 = 52. Now put that 52 on the end of the 11, and you get 11:52 as the end time.
