Answer:

kids= $3

Adults= $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let kids be x

and adults be y

First family

5x+2y= 25-----------------1

Second family

3x+y= 14-----------------2

Solve 1 and 2

5x+2y= 25 X 1

3x+y= 14     X 2

5x+2y= 25

-6x+2y= 28

-x= -3

x= 3

Put x= 3 in 1

5x+2y= 25

5(3)+2y= 25

15=2y= 25

2y= 25-15

2y= 10

divide both sides by 2

y= 10/2

y= 5

Hence kids= $3

Adults= $5

Neil is analyzing a quadratic function f(x) and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
Pavlova-9 [17]
The truth is they will intersect and let me explain it to you:
f(x) = x^2 + 6x +10
13 = x^2 + 6x+ 10
x^2 + 6x - 3 = 0
Solving the quadratic equations:
The roots of the equation is
x = 0.4641 and
x = -6.4541
That is why we say that It will intersect

Hey I’m struggling with number 13 so please show your work. Thx
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

\frac{5}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

Because \frac{3}{5} is being multiplied by S, we can divide \frac{3}{5} from both sides of the equation. This will give us:

\frac{1}{4}÷\frac{3}{5}

But, that looks a bit hectic. Instead of dividing, you can multiply by the reciprocal (which is essentially how to divide fractions). So, instead of \frac{1}{4}÷\frac{3}{5}, you get:

\frac{1}{4}×\frac{5}{3}

When multiplying fractions, remember you can just multiply straight across-- numerator x numerator, then denominator x denominator.

By doing that, you get the fraction \frac{5}{12}

\frac{5}{12} cannot be simplified any more, so S=\frac{5}{12} is your answer :)

I hope this helps
