Answer:

There were 3 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Derive the first expression

a+c=10...equation 1

where;

a=number of adults

c=number of children

And total number of people=10

Step 2: Derive the second expression;

Total cost of tickets=(price per child ticket×number of children)+(price per adult ticket×number of adults)

where;

Total cost of tickets=$186.50

price per child ticket=$15.95

price per adult ticket=$24.95

number of children=c

number of adults=a

replacing;

(15.95×c)+(24.95×a)=186.5

24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5....equation 2

Step 3: Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve simultaneously

24.95 a+15.95 c=186.5

-

24.95(a+c=10)

(24.95 a-24.95 a)+(15.95 c-24.95 c)=186.5-(24.95×10)

-9 c=-63

c=-63/-9

c=7

replace the value for c in equation 1

a+c=10

a+7=10

a=10-7

a=3

There were 3 adults

When Gene and Kelly were planning their trip to Paris, one United States dollar was worth about $\frac{7}{10}$ of a euro. Before
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$280 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

When they were leaving

\$1 \approx \frac{7}{10}$ Euro\\Therefore:\\\$1000 \approx  \dfrac{7}{10}\times 1000 =700$ Euro

When they returned home, they brought 196 Euros.

If\:\:\$1 \approx \frac{7}{10}$ Euro\\Then: 1 Euro $=\$  \dfrac{10}{7}\\\\$Therefore:\\\\196 Euros = \$ 196 \times \dfrac{10}{7} =\$280

They brought back $280 dollars to the United States.

The graph of the parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form the graph of g(x) = (x − 4)3 − 7. The point (0, 0) on the graph
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The point (0, 0) in the graph of f(x) corresponds to the point (4, -7) in the graph of g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that when we start with the function f(x)=x^3, and then transform it into the function: g(x)=(x-4)^3-7

what we have done is to translate the graph of the function horizontally 4 units to the right (via subtracting 4 from the variable x), and 7 units vertically down (via subtracting 7 to the full functional expression).

Therefore, the point (0, 0) in the first function, will now appeared translated 4 units to the right (from x = 0 to x = 4) and 7 units down (from y = 0 to y = -7).

then the point (0, 0) after the translation becomes: (4, -7)
