Problema Solution

There were 155 people at the basketball game. Tickets for the game are $2.50 for students and $4 for adults. If the total money received for admission was $492.50, how many students and adults attended the game?

Answer provided by our tutors

let

s = the number of student tickets sold

a = the number of adult tickets sold

there were 155 people at the basketball game

s + a = 155

the total money received for admission was $492.50

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

by solving the system of equations

s + a = 155

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

we find

s = 85 students

a = 70 adults

Answer:

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

Explanation:

You can determine the content of each box by subtraction, running the rows and the columns.

The expressions are:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

1. First row:

[ 5a ] + [ ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

[ ] = [10a+ 3] - [ 4a ] - [ 5a ] = 10a - 4a - 5a + 3 = a + 3

2. Second colum:

[ a + 3 ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 3a + 8 ]

[ ] = [ 3a + 8 ] - [ a + 3 ] - [ 4 + a ] = 3a - a + a + 8 - 4 - 3 = a + 1

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

3. Complete the row 3:

[ ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

[ ] = [ 1 ] - [ a + 1 ] - [ -3a ] = - a + 3a + 1 - 1 = 2a

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

4. Complete the fourth column:

[ 10a + 3 ] + [ ] + [ 1 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = 10a + 2b + 8 - 10a - 3 - 1 = 2b + 4

So far, this is the results:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

5. Complete the second row:

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

[ ] = [ 2b + 4 ] - [ 2b ] - [ 4 + a ] = 2b - 2b + 4 - 4 - a = - a

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

6. Complete the first colum:

[ 5a ] + [ 2b ] + [2a ] = [ ]

[ ] = [ 7a + 2b ]

So far:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

7. Complete the last row:

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[ ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ] - [ 7a + 2b ] - [ 3a + 8 ] = 0

The complete table is:

[ 5a ] + [ a + 3 ] + [ 4a ] = [ 10a + 3 ]

+ + + +

[ 2b ] + [ 4 + a ] + [ -a ] = [ 2b + 4 ]

+ + + +

[ 2a ] + [ a + 1 ] + [ -3a ] = [ 1 ]

= = = =

[ 7a + 2b ] + [ 3a + 8 ] + [ 0 ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

A local company manufactures netbook computers. Their profit function is given by this equation: y equal minus x to the power of

r-ruslan [8.4K]

The equation described above can also be written as,
y = -x² + 100x + 4000
To get the number of notebooks that will give them the maximum profit, we derive the equation and equate to zero.
dy/dx = -2x + 100 = 0
The value of x from the equation is 50. Then, we substitute 50 to the original equation to get the profit.
y = -(50^2) + 100(50) + 4000 = 6500
Thus, the maximum profit that the company makes is $6,500/day.

Brennan took a total of 16 pages of notes during 8 hours of class. After attending 10 hours of class, how many total pages of no

Nezavi [6.7K]

We use unitary method over here. To find out the number pages he writes in 1 hour we should;
16÷8 = 2.
So Brennan writes 2 pages in 1 hour.
Hence, in 10 hours he writes;
2 × 10 = 20.
∴ in ten hours Brennan writes 20 pages.
