Answer:

more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

(3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

(7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

Draw the graphs of the equations x – y = 1 and 2x + y = 8. Shade the area bounded by these two lines and y-axis. Also, determine

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Using Geometry to answer the question would be the simplest:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remembering the formula for the area of a triangle which is $A=\frac12bh$ . One can then tackle the question by doing the following:

Step 1 Find the y-intercepts

The y-intercepts are found by substituting in $x=0$ .

Which gives you this when you plug it into both equations:

$-y=1\\y=-1\\y=8$

So the y-intercepts for the graphs are $(0,-1)\\$ , and $(0,8)$ respectively.

Now one has to use elimination to solve the problems by adding up the equations we get:

$x-y=1\\2x+y=8\\3x=9\\x=3$

Now to solve for the y component substitute:

$2(3)+y=8\\y=2$

Therefore, the graphs intersect at the following:

$(3,2)$

Now we have our triangle which is accompanied by the graph.

now to solve it we must figure out how long the base is:

$b=8-(-1)\\b=9$

The height must also be accounted for which is the following:

$h=3$

Now the formula can be used:

$A=\frac12bh=\frac12(9)(3)=\frac{27}2\ \text{units}^2$
