Answer:

She is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: substitute

135 into x in both equations

Step 2: Solve the equations. Once you do this you will get y = 5375 for the first one and y = 4720 for the second one, therefore she is incorrect

adelina 88 [10]

$ 25 was the cost of each ​ticket before applying the service fee.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given that the cost of two tickets including the service fee = $59

So, the cost of one ticket including the service fee =  \frac{59}{2} = \$ 29.5

Service fee on each ticket = 18%

Let the cost of 1 ticket without including the service fee = x

So, according to the data given in the question,

                     x+18 \% \text { of } x=29.5

                     x+\frac{18}{100} \times x=29.5

                    x+0.18 x=29.5

                    1.18 x=29.5

                    x=\frac{29.5}{1.18}=25

Hence, cost of each ticket before applying the service fee = $25

13. En un pueblo, 5 personas escucharon una noticia. En una hora, cada una de ellas
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

En 5 horas se habrá enterado todo el pueblo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que en un pueblo 5 personas escucharon una noticia.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó la noticia a otras 5.

Luego, éstas contaron la noticia a otras 5 y así sucesivamente.

Nadie cuenta ni escucha la noticia más de una vez y en ese pueblo hay un poco más de 19000 habitantes.

La ecuación a desarrollar para resolver el problema es la siguiente :

Comenzamos con 5 personas que escucharon la noticia a la ''hora 0''.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó a 5 personas, es decir , pasada la primera hora tendremos :

5+5^{2}=30 (I)

Las 5 personas originales de la ''hora 0'' más 25 personas que se enteraron pasada la primera hora. La ecuación que planteamos es la siguiente :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000 (II)

Buscamos el valor de x que satisface la ecuación (II).

Probando y realizando las sumas encontramos que :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000

19530>19000

El valor de x que satisface (II) es x=6.

Para hallar el número de horas nos fijamos que en (I) el valor del mayor exponente del 5 es el número 2. Para ese valor 2, el tiempo que pasó es una hora.

Entonces para nuestro x=6, el número de horas que pasaron son 5 horas (1 menos que el valor de x)

Todo el pueblo se habrá enterado en 5 horas de la noticia.

Tim was given a large bag of sweets and ate one third of the sweets before stopping as he was feeling sick. The next day he ate
mars1129 [50]

Answer: In the beginning he was given 27 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation: The most logical thing to do is to solve it backwards, that is, from what he had at the end of the third day up till the beginning of the first day.

On the third day he ate one-third and had 8 sweets left over. To determine how many he started with on the third day, let the total on day three be called a. If one-third of a is eaten, then the left over which is two-thirds is 8. That is;

8/a = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

8 x 3 = 2a

24/2 = a

a = 12

Let the number of sweets he had on day two be called b. If he ate one-third of b and he had 12 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 12 and we now have;

12/b = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

12 x 3 = 2b

36 = 2b

36/2 = b

b = 18

Let the number of sweets he had on day one be called x. If he ate one-third of x and he had 18 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 18, and we now have;

18/x = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

18 x 3 = 2x

54 = 2x

x = 27

Therefore Tim was given 27 sweets at the beginning.
