Answer: adult = $11

Child = $8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of an adult ticket be a

Let the cost of child ticket be c.

From the question,

3a + 4c = $67 ....... i

5a + 6c = $106 ...... ii

Multiply equation I by 5

Multiply equation ii by 3

15a + 20c = $335

- 15a + 18c = $318

2c = $17

C = $17/2 = $8.5

Put the value of c into

3a + 4c = $67

3a + 4($8.5) = $67

3a + $34 = $67

3a = $67 - $34

3a = $33

a = $11

Cost of adult ticket = $11

cost of child ticket = $8.5

salantis [7]

Answer:

P(X>14)= 1-P(X

And replacing we got:

P(X>14)= 1- \frac{14-8}{22-8}= 0.5714

The probability that a randomly selected barber needs at least 14 minutes to complete the haircut is 0.5714

Step-by-step explanation:

We define the random variable of interest as x " time it takes a barber to complete a haircuts" and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a= 8, b=22)

And for this case we want to find the following probability:

P(X>14)

We can find this probability using the complement rule and the cumulative distribution function given by:

P(X

Using this formula we got:

P(X>14)= 1-P(X

And replacing we got:

P(X>14)= 1- \frac{14-8}{22-8}= 0.5714

The probability that a randomly selected barber needs at least 14 minutes to complete the haircut is 0.5714

These tables represent a quadratic function with a vertex at (0,3) What us the average rate of change from the interval from x=7
VladimirAG [237]
The rate of change is shown to the right of the second graph as being -2 

At 5 to 6 the average rate of change is -11, so at 6 to 7 the rate of change would be -11-2 = -13, then from 7 to 8 it would be -13-2 = -15.

The answer is D. -15

Triangle ABE is similar to triangle ACD. AED and ABC are straight lines. EB and DC are parallel. AE = 5 cm, BC = 4.5 cm, BE = 4
lianna [129]

Answer:

y = 16x/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Triangle ABE is similar to triangle ACD. AED and ABC are straight lines

EB and DC are parallel

The area of quadrilateral BCDE = xcm²

The area of triangle ABE = ycm²

Find attached the diagram from the above information.

In similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding angles are equal.

Also, the ratio of the area of the two triangles = square of ratio of the corresponding sides of the two triangles.

Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = (DC/EB)²

Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = [(area of quadrilateral BCDE +

area of ∆ABE)]/(area of ∆ABE)

(x+y)/y = (DC/EB)²

(x+y)/y = (9/4)²

x+y = (81/16)y

x = (81/16)y - y

x = (81y - 16y)/16

x = 65y/16

Making y subject of formula

16x = 65y

y = 16x/65

An expression for y in terms of x:

y = 16x/65
