I believe the answer is 4/15.
Let's call a child's ticket 
and an adult's ticket 
. From this, we can say:
,
since 116 tickets are sold in total.
Now, we are going to need to find another equation (the problem asks us to solve a systems of equations). This time, we are not going to base the equation on ticket quantity, but rather ticket price. We know that an adult's ticket is $17,000, and a child's ticket is thus
.
Given these values, we can say:
,
since each adult ticket costs 17,000 and each child's ticket costs 12,750, and these costs sum to 1,653,250.
Now, we have two equations:
Let's solve:
- Find on its own, which will allow us to substitute it into the first equation
- Substitute in
for
- Apply the Distributive Property
- Subtract 1972000 from both sides of the equation and multiply both sides by -1
We have now found that 75 child's tickets were sold. Thus,
,
41 adult tickets were sold as well.
In sum, 41 adult tickets were sold along with 75 child tickets.
X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.
Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42
Point W represents the y-intercept
Answer: The value of k is 5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
The graph of f(x)=0.5x is replaced by the graph of g(x) = 0.5x-k
If g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) down by 5 units,
Then the graph of f(x) = 0.5x is replaced by the graph of g(x) = 0.5x-5
Hence, k = 5 units
Therefore, the value of k is 5 units.
