3 - 1/8a = 1/4

The goal is to isolate "a" and its coefficient to make the simplification process easier.

Start by subtracting 3 from both sides:

3 - 3 - 1/8a = 1/4 -3

-1/8a = 1/4 - 3

Next, multiply 3 by 4/4 to convert it into a fraction:

-1/8a = 1/4 - [3 • (4/4)]

-1/8a = 1/4 - 12/4

-1/8a = - 11/4

Multiply both sides by -8:

(-8) -1/8a = - 11/4 (-8)

a = 88/4 = 22

Therefore, a = 22.

The school that Joe goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On血e first day of ticket

Answer:

The price of one senior citizen ticket is $8, and the price of one child ticket is $11.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for two things: the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket.

We need to write two equations using two variables.

Let s = price of 1 senior citizen ticket.

Let c = price of 1 child ticket.

First day of ticket sales:

6 senior citizen tickets, 8 child tickets, total sales of $136

Since s is the price of a senior citizen ticket, 6 tickets cost 6s.

Since c is the price of a child ticket, 8 tickets cost 8c.

The total sales is 6s + 8c.

The total sales is $136, so our first equation is

6s + 8c = 136

Now we do the same for the second day of ticket sales.

6 senior citizen tickets, 9 child tickets, total sales of $147.

Since s is the price of a senior citizen ticket, 6 tickets cost 6s.

Since c is the price of a child ticket, 9 tickets cost 9c.

The total sales is 6s + 9c.

The total sales is $147, so our second equation is

6s + 9c = 147

The system of equations is

6s + 8c = 136

6s + 9c = 147

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -1. Write the second equation below it. Then add the equations.

-6s - 8c = -136

(+) 6s + 9c = 147

----------------------------

c = 11

c = 11, so the cost of a child ticket is $11.

Now substitute 11 for c in the first equation, and solve for s.

6s + 8c = 136

6s + 8(11) = 136

6s + 88 = 136

6s = 48

s = 8

The price of a senior citizen ticket is $8.

The price of a senior citizen ticket is $8, and the price of a child ticket is $11.

Calculate the area of triangle ABC with altitude CD, given A (6,0) B(1,5) C (2,0) and D (4,2)

Elina [12.6K]

So hmm check the picture below

the height or altitude is CD
and the base is AB

how long are those? well $\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
A&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
B&({{ 1}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\\\\
C&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 0}})\quad 
% (c,d)
D&({{ 4}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(1-6)^2+(5-0)^2}\qquad \qquad CD=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(2-0)^2}$

When there are two negative be added your answer will always be negative. In this case add the ones(2) and then add the 1/2s(1) and then add the two. For this you’ll get 3 but just add the negative sign.
