Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the first mile marker.  Then x + 1 represents the second mile marker.

Then x + (x + 1) = 561, or

2x + 1 = 561, or

2x = 560, and so x = 280

Then the first mile marker reads 280 and the second mile marker reads 281.

What is the 185th digit in the following pattern 12345678910111213141516...?
Natalka [10]
1-9  = 9 digits
10-99 = 180 digits
So if we continue the pattern to 99, there are 189 digits, and the last 5 digits would be 79899.  Counting backwards: 189th = 9, 188th = 9, 187th = 8, 186th = 9, 185th = 7.

The 185th digit is 7.

Tickets to a musical cost $30 for adults and $12 for children. At one particular performance 960 people attended and $19 080 was
postnew [5]
In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.

Let's say that children = c and adults = a

30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960

I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.

   a + c = 960 
       - c    -    c
 ---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
   a = 960 - c 



20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
   19,200 - 8c = 19,080
 - 19,200         - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
         8c = -120                    into the opposite equation.                                                
       ------  ---------
          8         8
 
         c = -15



30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
   30a - 180 = 19,080
          + 180  +     180
 -------------------------------
   30a = 19,260
  -------   -----------
    30          30
     
       a = 642
__________________________________________________________

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.
