Answer: x = $7, y = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of an adult ticket
Let y be the cost of a children's ticket
Translate these sentences to algebra:
At the circus, three adult tickets and five child tickets cost $51: 3x + 5y = 51
Five adult tickets and two child tickets cost $47: 5x + 2y = 47
Now we have two equations. Let's use substitution to solve.
3x + 5y = 51
3x = 51 - 5y
.: x = 17 - 5y/3
Now substitute this value of x into the second equation to find the numerical value of y:
5(17 - 5y/3) + 2y = 47
85 - 25y/3 + 2y = 47
-19y/3 = -38
-19y = -114
.: y = 6
Now find x:
x = 17 - 5y/3
x = 17 - 10
.: x = 7
So an adult ticket costs $7, and a child ticket costs $6 :)
Answer:
12.9
Step-by-step explanation:
sin 59 = opposite/hypotenuse
opposite is x, the dimension facing the angle 59
hypotenuse is the longest side = 15
sin 59 = x/15
x = 15sin59 = 15 x 0.8572 =12.858 = 12.9 in the nearest tenth
2 times 8 x 12
192
2 times 5 x 8
80
2 times 12 x 5
60
192+80+60=332 ft^2
Cole can learn how to play tennis. But if he saved the money, he can save up and get something bigger, or save up for college. There is only so much he can do with a tennis racket except for using it to learn a new sport.
