Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")
1║2 -7 -13 63 -45
║ 2 -5 -18 45
2 -5 -18 45 0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.
Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")
3║2 -5 -18 45
║ 6 3 -45
2 1 -15 0
Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors. Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.
Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
Answer:
The last one
Step-by-step explanation:
-4 1/3 is less than -1 3/4 because its farther on the negative side and -1 3/4 is closer to the positive side
You can use Substitution to solve this problem:
4x-y=20
-y=-4x+20
y=4x-20
Now you have two equations, and you use the first one to substitute into the second one.
y=4x-20 and -2x-2y=10
-2x-2(4x-20)=10
-2x-8x+40=10
-10x+40=10
-10x=-30
-x=-3
x=3
Now that we have figured out what x is, we can substitute x in to one of the equations to figure out y.
4x-y=20 x=3
4(3)-y=20
12-y=20
-y=8
y=-8
<em><u>So your answer would be x=3 and y=-8</u></em>
