The GCF is 36 since 36 can go into 144 (:
x
Let:
x = cost of senior citizen ticket
y = cost of student ticket
4x + 5y = 102
7x + 5y = 126
4x + 5y = 102
4x = 102 - 5y
x = (102 - 5y)/4
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
7x + 5y = 126
7(102/4 - 5y/4) + 5y = 126
(714/4 - 35y/4) + 5y = 126
-35y/4 + 5y = 126 - 714/4
note:
-35y/4 = -8.75y
714/4 = 178.5
-8.75y + 5y = 126 - 178.5
-3.75y = -52.5
y = -52.5/-3.75
y = 14
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
x = 102/4 - 5(14)/4
x = 8
x = cost of senior citizen ticket = $8/ea
y = cost of student ticket = $14/ea
For determining the correct degree of a polynomial, you need to look at each term and find the degree by adding the exponents of each variable in it. The largest degree is the degree of the polynomial.
7x^6 has largest degree of the given polynomial, so your answer is D.6
I think the answer would be like 1.5.
