For a school drama performance, student tickets cost $5 each and adult tickets cost $10 each. The sellers collected $3,570 from

512 tickets sold. If c is the number of student tickets sold, which equation can be used to find the amount of tickets sold of each type?

5c+10a=3570 c+a=512 ... a=512-c so ... 5c + 10(512-c)=3570

Answer:

The system of equations is equal to

$a+c=512$

$5c+10a=3,570$

The number of adult tickets sold is $a=202\ tickets$

The number of student tickets sold is $c=310\ tickets$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c------> the number of student tickets sold

a-----> the number of adult tickets sold

we know that

$a+c=512$ -----> equation A

$5c+10a=3,570$ -----> equation B

Using a graphing tool

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

see the attached figure

The intersection point is $(202,310)$

therefore

the solution is

the number of adult tickets sold is $a=202\ tickets$

the number of student tickets sold is $c=310\ tickets$

Two solutions of different concentrations of acid are mixed creating 40 mL of a solution that is 32% acid. One-quarter of the so

Georgia [21]

In order to construct this equation, we will use the variables:
V to represent mixture volume (40 ml)
C to represent mixture concentration (0.32)
v₁ to represent volume of first solution (40 / 4 = 10 ml)
c₁ to represent concentration of first solution (0.2)
v₂ to represent the volume of the second solution (40 * 3/4 = 30 ml)
c₂ to represent the concentration of the second solution

We know that the total amount of substance, product of the volume and concentration, in the final solution is equal to the individual amounts in the two given solutions. Thus:
VC = v₁c₁ + v₂c₂
40(0.32) = 10(0.2) + 30c

An angle t is drawn from the center of the unit circle. Find a formula in terms of t for the straight line distance d between th

Doss [256]

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt {1-\cos t - \sin t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that one of the radii meets the circle at the point (1,0). The straight line distance formula is:

$d = \sqrt{(\cos t - 1)^{2}+(\sin t - 1)^{2}}$

$d = \sqrt{(\cos^{2}t - 2\cdot \cos t + 1)+(\sin^{2}t - 2\cdot \sin t + 1)}$

$d = \sqrt{2-2\cdot (\cos t + \sin t )}$

$d = \sqrt{2}\cdot \sqrt {1-\cos t - \sin t}$

What does it mean in context of the example that Alyssa’s rate of change is greater than Sarah’s?

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Part 1) The rate of change is the amount of money saved by week

Part 2) The amount of money saved weekly by Alyssa is greater than the amount of money saved weekly by Sarah.

Part 3) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

Part 1) What does the rate of change in the example represent?

Part 2) What does it mean in context of the example that Alyssa’s rate of change is greater than Sarah’s?

Part 3) Write ordered pairs for the initial values of each function. Tell what the initial values represent

Part 1) we know that

The rate of change is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

In this context the rate of change is the amount of money saved by week

Part 2) we know that

Alyssa’s rate of change is equal to $8 per week

Sarah’s rate of change is equal to $6 per week

That means ----> The amount of money saved weekly by Alyssa is greater than the amount of money saved weekly by Sarah.

Part 3) we know that

The initial value or y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context , the initial value is the amount of money available at the time of beginning to save

so

<em>Sarah's Savings</em>

Looking at the graph

The initial value is the point (0,8)

That means ----> At the beginning (x=0), Sarah already had $8 saved.

<em>Alyssa's Savings</em>

Looking at the graph

The initial value is the point (0,0)

That means ----> At the begin (x=0), Alyssa had nothing saved.

Complete the steps for solving 7 = –2x2 + 10x. Factor out of the variable terms. inside the parentheses and on the left side of

Mamont248 [21]

we have

$7=-2x^{2} +10x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$7=-2(x^{2} -5x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$7-12.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

$-5.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

Divide both sides by $-2$

$2.75=(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2.75=(x-2.5)^{2}$

Taking the square roots of both sides (square root property of equality)

$x-2.5=(+/-)\sqrt{2.75}$

Remember that

$\sqrt{2.75}=\sqrt{\frac{11}{4}}= \frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x-2.5=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}$

<u>the answer is</u>

The solutions are

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}$
