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:

A

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.
