<h2>PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST</h2>

the number of small cars rented is 6.

The number of large cars rented is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Each small car can hold = 5 people

Each large car can hold  = 8 people

Step 2 :

Number of small cars rented = x

Number of large cars rented = x + 2

Step 3 :

Altogether the total cars can hold 94 people.

Total people = 5 people (No. of small cars) + 8 people (No. of large cars)

               94 =  5 (x) + 8 (x+2)

               94 = 5x + 8x + 16

               78 = 13x

                  x = 78/13 = 6

∴ Number of small cars, x = 6 small cars

  Number of large cars, x+2 = 8 large cars.

Concert tickets cost $15 for general admission, but only $9 with a student ID. Ticket sales total $450. Write and graph an equat
aliina [53]

The equation that models the situation is 15x + 9y = 450

The x-intercept is (30, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, 50)

Given the following parameters:

  • Cost of concert tickets for general admission= $15
  • Cost of a ticket for those with student ID = $9

Given that the total sales is $450, the equation that models this situation will be expressed as:

  • 15x + 9y = 450

where:

x is the those that admitted generally

y are those with student ID

<u />

<u>Get the x-intercept.</u>

This is a point where the y-axis is zero

15x + 9y = 450

15x + 9(0) = 450

15x = 450

x = 450/15

x = 30

Thee x-intercept is (30, 0)

<u>Get the y-intercept.</u>

This is a point where the x-axis is zero

15(0) + 9y = 450

0 + 9y = 450

9y = 450

y = 450/9

x = 50

The y-intercept is (0, 50)

A matrix a is given. determine if the system ax = b (where x and b have the appropriate number of components) has a solution for
Alborosie
We can write the system in the following form:
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}5&-4&4&2\end{array}\right]  \left[\begin{array}{c}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{array}\right]  =b
The above system is equivalent to the following equation:
5x_1-4x_2+4x_3+2x_4=b,\forall b\in\mathbb{R}
Of course, the above system has solution for any values of b since there is one equation and four variable, there is infinite number of solution each time.
