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 :)

Please help me :)) algebra 2! what are the real roots?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$3(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}+16=64$

First, let's subtract 16 from both sides:

$3(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}=48$

Now, let's divide both sides by 3:

$(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}=16$

Remember that with fractional exponents, we can move the denominator into the root position. Therefore:

$(\sqrt[3]{x-4})^4=16$

Let's take the fourth root of both sides. Since we're taking an even root, make sure to have the plus-minus symbol!

$\sqrt[3]{x-4} =\pm 2$

Cube both sides. Since we're cubing, the plus-minus stays.

$x-4=\pm 8$

Add 4 to both sides.

$x=\pm 8+4$

Calculator:

$x=8+4\text{ or } x=-8+4\\x=12\text{ or } x=-4$

So, our answer is A.

And we're done!

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given points, then write the equation in slope-inte

frosja888 [35]

As we go from (-6,6) to (9,1), x increases by 15 and y decreases by 5. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -5/15, or m = -1/3.

Point-slope form: y-6 = (-1/3)(x+6), using data from (-6,6).

Slope-intercept form: starting with y = mx + b, substit. -6 for x, 6 for y and -1/3 for m:

6 = (-1/3)(-6) + b, or

6 = 2 + b. Then b = 4, and the equation in slope-intercept form is

y = (-1/3)x + 4.
