Answer:

  • $8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The first group consists of Petra and 4 friends, so the total number of members is 5, therefore the left side of equation should be:</u>

  • 5(x + 5.5)

<u>The second group consists of 4 people, Valentina and 3 friends, therefore the right side of the equation should be</u>:

  • 4(1.5x + 4.75)

<u>Solving the equation to find the cost of a ticket for Petra's group:</u>

  • 5(x + 5.5) = 4(1.5x + 4.75)
  • 5x + 27.5 = 6x + 19
  • 6x - 6x = 27.5 - 19
  • x = 8.5

Cost of a ticket is $8.5

The ratio of Tv commercial mins to scheduled show time mins is 6 to 24 how many mins of commercial time will be seen during a 2
vodomira [7]
Well first set up the first ratio as 6/24. That is commercial mins over show time mins. Then to keep the units the same convert 2 hours into minutes which would be 120 minutes. Then set up your next ratio as x/120 since you’re trying to find the commercial minutes. Then cross multiply so that it’s 24x=720 and then x=30 and that’s the amount of commercial minutes for 2 hours.

Jacques needs to convert the function f(x) = x2 − 6x + 14 to vertex form, f(x) = (x − h)2 + k, in order to find the minimum.
Anarel [89]

k = 5

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Since the coefficient of the x² term is 1 then

add/ subtract (half the coefficient of the x-term )² to x² - 6x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 + 14 = (x - 3)² + 5 → k = 5
