Answer:
2. 
Step-by-step explanation:
2. The line will be parallel to the current track which means they have the same slope. To write the equation, use the slope m=1/2 and the point (2,4) in point slope form:
This is the equation of the line. You can convert it to slope intercept form:
For part A, you simply add the two functions a(x) and b(x). The resulting function is then (a+b)(x) = 5x +2.
For part B, you multiply the functions a(x) and b(x). Using the FOIL method, we obtain, 6x^2 -24x + 20x - 80. Simplifying, we get, (a*b)(x) = 6x^2 -4x - 80.
For part C, you replace x in the function a(x) with the expression from b(x). This results to: a[b(x)] = 3(2x - 8) +10. Simplifying, a[b(x)] = 6x - 14.
Answer: you sold 10 adult tickets and 11 children tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that you sold.
Let y represent the number of children tickets that you sold.
You sold a total of 21 tickets. This means that
x + y = 21
Admission prices are six dollars for adults and four dollars for children. You sell tickets for admission to your school play and collect a total of $104. This means that
6x + 4y = 104 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 21 - y into equation 1, it becomes
6(21 - y) + 4y = 104
126 - 6y + 4y = 104
- 6y + 4y = 104 - 126
- 2y = - 22
y = - 22/ -2 = 11
Substituting y = 11 into x = 21 - y, it becomes
x = 21 - 11 = 10
First subtract the three from both sides
