Tickets for the baseball games were $2.50 for general admission and 50 cents for kids. If there were six times as many general a

dmissions sold as there were kids tickets, and the total receipts were $7750, how many of each type of ticket were sold?

There was 3000 general admission tickets sold and 500 kid ticket sold.

How did I get this?

First, we need to see what information we have.
$2.50 = General admission tickets = (G)
 $0.50 = kids tickets =  (K)
There were 6x as many general admission tickets sold as kids. G = 6K

We need two equations:
G = 6K  
$2.50G + $.50K = $7750
Since, G = 6K we can substitute that into the 2nd equation.

2.50(6K) + .50K = 7750
Distribute 2.50 into the parenthesis

15K + .50K = 7750
combine like terms

15.50K = 7750
Divide both sides by 15.50, the left side will cancel out.

K = 7750/15.50
K = 500 tickets
So, 500 kid tickets were sold.

Plug K into our first equation (G = 6k)

G = 6*500
G = 3000 tickets

So, 3000 general admission tickets were sold,

Let's check this:

$2.50(3000 tickets) = $7500 (cost of general admission tickets)
$.50(500 tickets) = $250 (cost of general admission tickets)
$7500 + $250 = $7750 (total cost of tickets)

Two window washers start at the heights shown. (A: 21 ft high rising 8 in per second. The other is 50 feet high descending 11inc
babunello [35]

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is write the generic equation of motion for the vertical axis.

We have then:

h = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + vo * t + h0

Where,

  • <em>g: acceleration of gravity </em>
  • <em>vo: initial speed </em>
  • <em>h0: initial height </em>

For the first body:

h1 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21

For the second body:

h2 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

By the time both bodies have the same height we have:

h1 = h2\\

\frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 + \frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = \frac {1} {2} gt ^ 2 - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

Rewriting we have:

\frac {8} {12} * t + 21 = - \frac {11} {12} * t + 50

\frac {8} {12} * t + \frac {11} {12} * t = 50 - 21

\frac {19} {12} * t = 29

Clearing time:

t = 29 (\frac {12} {19})\\t = 18.31s

Answer:

 it takes 18.31s for the two window washers to reach the same height

Caleb solved this equation and recorded his work. 7.4x + 4.1(2x − 4) = −2.3(x − 6) − 21.6 1. 7.4x + 8.2x − 16.4 = −2.3x + 13.8 −
IRINA_888 [86]
For this case we have the following equation:
 7.4x + 4.1 (2x - 4) = -2.3 (x - 6) - 21.6&#10;
 Step 1 of the solution is to make the distributive property.
 We have then:
 7.4x + 8.2x - 16.4 = -2.3x + 13.8 - 21.6&#10;
 Step 1 is correct.
 The step is to combine similar terms. Caleb wrote: 7.4x + 8.2x - 16.4 = -2.3x + 35.4&#10;
 He wrongly combined the similar terms on the right side of the equation.
 The correct solution is: 7.4x + 8.2x - 16.4 = -2.3x -7.8&#10;
 Answer:
 In step 2, the like terms were not combined on the right side of the equation.

A lake is 200 ft wide.Two boats start to move towards one another from opposite shores.In one minute the first boat goes 40 ft a
ddd [48]

Answer:

After one second, 130 ft

After two second , 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Both boats are moving towards each other,

Speed of first boat = 40 ft/min.

Speed of second boat = 30 ft/min.

So, In one Second they must have covered a total distance of 40 + 30 ft

                                                                                                        = 70 ft.

Total width of the lake = 200 ft

So, Distance remained between them after one second = 200 - 70 = 130 ft.

After two seconds , First boat will move my 80 ft and second one will move by 60 ft

So, distance between them will decrease by 140 ft.

Distance between the boats after two seconds = 60 ft.

qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For each of the yp(x) we can deduce the characteristic polynomial of the differential equation

A.

yp(x)=Ax^2+Bx+C\\m^2=0\\y''=0

B.

yp(x)=Ae^{2x}\\(m-2)m=0\\m^2-2m=0\\y''-2y=0

C.

yp(x)=Acos2x+Bsin2x\\m_1=2i\\m_2=-2i\\y''+4=0

D.

yp(x)=(Ax+B)cos2x+(Cx+D)sin2x\\yp(x)=xcos4x

hope this helps!!
