Answer:

353 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that there are s student tickets and n nonstudent tickets.

s + n = 669

5s + 8n = 4293

Multiply -5 by the entire first equation to get...

-5s - 5n = -3345

Combine the two equations.

5s - 5s + 8n - 5n = 4293 - 3345

3n = 948

n = 316

Now, put the number of nonstudent tickets sold back into the first equation.

s + 316 = 669

s = 353 tickets.

Hope this helps!

a cell phone company has a basic monthly plan of $40plus $0.45 for many minutes ised over 700. John was charged a total of $48.1
jonny [76]
Cost of month plan = $40

Cost of minutes used = $0.45 after 700 minutes

Total cost = $48.10

Let x be the total minutes used
Total cost = 40 + 0.45(x - 700)

------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------
40 + 0.45(x - 700) = 48.10
40 + 0.45x - 315 = 48.10
0.45x - 275 = 48.10
0.45x = 48.10 + 275
0.45x = 323.10
x = 323.10 ÷ 0.45
x = 718

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: John had used 718 mins this month

Determine if the equation y = 2(0.45)x represents exponential growth or decay
djverab [1.8K]
We have that
y = 2(0.45)^x

in this problem 
2-----------> is the Coefficient
0.45-------> is the Base
<span>x-----------> is the Exponent

we know that
</span><span>If the base  is less than 1 (but always greater than 0), the function will be exponential decay
</span>It is decay because as x values increase, y values decrease.
<span>0.45 < 1  and 0.45 > 0
therefore

the equation
</span>y = 2(0.45)^x
represents <span>exponential decay
</span>
the answer is
exponential decay<span>
