Answer:

41.5

23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by calling the two numbers we are looking for x and y.

The sum of x and y is 65. In other words, x plus y equals 65 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 65

The difference between x and y is -18. In other words, x minus y equals -18 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = -18

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x = -18 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 65

-18+y+y=65

-18 + 2y = 65

2y = 83

y = 41.5

Now we know y is 41.5. Which means that we can substitute y for 41.5 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 65

x + 41.5= 65

X = 23.5

DIfference : 23.5 - 41.5 = 18

Sum: 41.5 +23.5 = 65

Hence, The two number are 23.5 and 41.5

Tickets for a school play sold for $7.50 for each adult and $3.00 for each child. The total receipts for 118 tickets totaled $69
NeX [460]
X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations: 
x+y=118                 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696

we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42

x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76

Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.

1)Make an area model(Table) or a tree diagram to model all the possible combinations in this situation. 2)What is the theoretica
Ann [662]

Answer:

Example:

A bag contains 3 black balls and 5 white balls. Paul picks a ball at random from the bag and replaces it back in the bag. He mixes the balls in the bag and then picks another ball at random from the bag.

a) Construct a probability tree of the problem.

b) Calculate the probability that Paul picks:

i) two black balls

ii) a black ball in his second draw

Solution:

tree diagram

a) Check that the probabilities in the last column add up to 1.

b) i) To find the probability of getting two black balls, first locate the B branch and then follow the second B branch. Since these are independent events we can multiply the probability of each branch.

ii) There are two outcomes where the second ball can be black.

Either (B, B) or (W, B)

From the probability tree diagram, we get:

P(second ball black)

= P(B, B) or P(W, B)

= P(B, B) + P(W, B)
