Answer:  Child is $1 and Adult is $3, per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns, so we need at least two equations.  Let C and A stand for the price of a ticket for a child and an adult, respectively.

The income for Monday and Tuesday can be calculated:

Monday:   16C + 42A = $142

Tuesday:  24C + 26A = $102

Rearrange the second equation to isolate one of the variables.  I'll pick C:

24C + 26A = $102

C  = ($102 - 26A)/24

Now use this expression for C in the first equation

16C + 42A = $142

16(($102 - 26A)/24) + 42A = $142

16(($102 - 26A)/24) + 42A = $142

(1632 - 416A)/24 + 42A = $142

(68 - 17.3333A + 42A = $142

24.6667A = 74

A = 3  [The price of an adult pool admission is $3]

Use this value in either equation to find the price of a child's admission:

24C + 26A = $102

24C + 26*($3) = $102

24C = 102 - 78

C = $1   [The price of a child's admission to the pool is $1]

Check to see if these prices satisfy both equations:

Monday:   16C + 42A = $142

Tuesday:  24C + 26A = $102

---

Monday:   16*(1) + 42*(3)  = $142   ?   YES

Tuesday:  24*(1) + 26*(3) = $102   ?    YES

<u>Child is $1 and Adult is $3, per person.</u>

Prove that the sum of all natural numbers is -1/12.

This is not true. The infinite series


\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty n

converges if and only if the sequence of its partial sums converges. The k-th partial sum is

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^kn=\frac{k(k+1)}2

but clearly this diverges as k gets arbitrarily large.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

9 feet 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to get the answer we want to add the heights of the boxes.

2 feet, 4 inches + 2 feet 11 inches = 4 feet 15 inches. 4 feet 15 inches + 3 feet 10 inches = 7 feet and 25 inches. 25 inches is equal to 2 feet and 1 inch, so we end up with 9 feet and 1 inch as our answer.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

w = V/lh

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula V = lwh, where V is the volume of the prism, l and w are the length and width of the base of the prism, respectively, and h is the height of the prism.

Rewrite the formula to find the width of the base of the prism if the volume, length of the base, and height of the prism are already known.

volume of a rectangular prism,V = lwh

Where,

l = length of the base of the prism

w = width of the base of the prism

h = height of the prism

Rewrite the formula to find w

V = lwh

w = V/lh

That is,

width of the base of the prism = volume of the prism divided by length of the base of the prism multiplied by height of the prism
