Answer:

x=$10

y=$12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

let senior tickets be x

and child be y

8x+9y=188----1

also on the second day

x+5y=70-------2

the system of equation is

8x+9y=188-----1

x+5y=70---------2

x=70-5y, put this in 1

8(70-5y)+9y=188

560-40y+9y=188

-31y=-372

divide by -31

y=-372/-31

y=$12

put y= 12 in x+5y=70---------2

x+5(12)=70---------2

x+60=70

x=$10

the line -6+2y=10 is written in standard form. can you tell what the growth of the line is?Its y-intercept?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Growth: 3

y-intercept: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the equation in slope-intercept form:

-6x+2y=10

2y=6x+10

y=3x+5

2. Then we can easily identify the growth and y-intercept.

Growth: 3

y-intercept: 5

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=x+4y subject to the constraint x2+y2=9, if such values
Vesnalui [34]

The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,\lambda)=x+4y+\lambda(x^2+y^2-9)

with critical points where the partial derivatives vanish.

L_x=1+2\lambda x=0\implies x=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}

L_y=4+2\lambda y=0\implies y=-\dfrac2\lambda

L_\lambda=x^2+y^2-9=0

Substitute x,y into the last equation and solve for \lambda:

\left(-\dfrac1{2\lambda}\right)^2+\left(-\dfrac2\lambda\right)^2=9\implies\lambda=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{17}}6

Then we get two critical points,

(x,y)=\left(-\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},-\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)\text{ and }(x,y)=\left(\dfrac3{\sqrt{17}},\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{17}}\right)

We get an absolute maximum of 3\sqrt{17}\approx12.369 at the second point, and an absolute minimum of -3\sqrt{17}\approx-12.369 at the first point.

Please Help!!!
Mkey [24]
The equation looks like this:

26=x*3.5+8.50

where x is the number of pen you bought.

We solve it like this:
first, we subtract 8.50 from both sides:

17.50 =3.5*x

now we divide both sides by 3.5:
5=x

so you purchased 5 pens.
