Answer:
x=-5/2, -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2+11x+15=0
factor out the trinomial
(2x+5)(x+3)=0
zero property,
2x+5=0, x+3=0
2x=0-5=-5, x=-5/2
x=0-3=-3
We know that :
Ф Product of the slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other should be equal to -1
Let the slope of the line perpendicular to given line be : M
Given equation of the line : y = -1/2x + 4
This line is in the form : y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y intercept
Comparing with y = mx + c :
we can notice that slope of the given line is -1/2
⇒ M × -1/2 = -1
⇒ M × 1/2 = 1
⇒ M = 2
<u>Answer</u> : Slope of the line perpendicular to given line is 2
X+y= 26 and 4.75x + 2.25y= 83.50
y=26-x( substitute this into second equation for y and solve for x)
4.75x + 2.25(26-x)= 83.50
4.75x + 58.5-2.25x= 83.50
x= 10
Now solve for y by substituting your answer for x
10+ y= 26
y=16
Therefore, 16 tickets were purchased for kids and 10 for adults.
Let us assume the number of children attending the movie = x
Let us also assume the number of adults attending the movie = y
Cost of admission for a children in the movie = $8
Cost of admission of an adult in the movie = $12
Number of people going to the movie on a certain day = 3200
Total amount collected from the movie theater = $33040
Then
x + y = 3200
And
8x + 12y = 33040
2x + 3y = 8260
Let us first take the equation
x + y = 3200
x = 3200 - y
Now we will put the value of x in the equation
2x + 3y = 8260
2(3200 - y) + 3y = 8260
6400 - 2y + 3y = 8260
y = 8260 - 6400
= 1860
Now we will put the value of y from the above deduction in the equation
x + y = 3200
x + 1860 = 3200
x = 3200 - 1860
= 1340
So the number of children going to the movie theater is 1340 and the number of adults going to the movie theater is 1860.
