Answer:
Each student ticket costs $8.33
Each adult ticket costs $15.34
Step-by-step explanation:
At Niagra High, Mr. Borton bought 4 student tickets and 2 adult tickets for the high school musical which cost $64. then Mrs. Gelvoria bought 3 student tickets and 3 adult tickets for the show and it cost her $72. How much are each type of tickets?
s = cost of each student ticket
a = cost of adult ticket
Our system of equations:
4s + 2a = 64
3s + 3a = 71
-3(4s + 2a = 64) ==> -12s - 6a = -192
2(3s + 3a = 71) ==> 6s + 6a = 142
-12s - 6a = -192
6s + 6a = 142
-6s = -50
/-6 /-6
s = $8.33 (the cost of each student ticket)
Now, let's find the cost of each adult ticket:
4s + 2a = 64
4(8.33) + 2a = 64
33.32 + 2a = 64
-33.32 -33.32
2a = 30.68
/2 /2
a = 15.34 (the cost of each adult ticket)
(x, y) ==> (8.33, 15.34)
Check your answer:
4s + 2a = 64
4(8.33) + 2(15.34) = 64
33.32 + 30.68 = 64
64 = 64
This statement is true

Answer:
y = -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line. When the equation starts out in standard form, a line with negative reciprocal slope can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them.
The given x- and y-coefficients have the ratio 1:-3, so we can use the coefficients 3 and 1 for our purpose.
The usual process of making the line go through a given point can be used. That is, we can translate the line from the origin to the desired point by subtracting the point coordinates from x and y. Then we have ...
3(x+3) +(y-5) = 0

This is "an" equation. It is in no particularly recognizable form. It can be rearranged to the form y = mx + b:
3x +9 +y -5 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
y = -3x -4 . . . . . subtract terms that are not "y"
