sold 20 more adult tickets than student tickets
to the fall play. If the class collected $880 from ticket sales, how many adult tickets were sold?
The drama class sold
adult tickets.
The solution is

Answers

Answer 1

Solving a system of equations we will see that they sold 80 adult tickets.

how many adult tickets were sold?

To solve this, we need to solve a system of equations. To define said systems of equations, we first need to define the variables, we will use:

x = adult tickets sold.y = student tickets sold.

They sold 20 more adult tickets than student tickets, then:

x = y + 20

And they collected a total of $880, then:

x*$8 + y*$4 = $880

The the system of equations is:

x = y + 20

x*$8 + y*$4 = $880

Isolating y on the first equation we get:

y = x - 20

Replacing that on the other equation we get:

x*$8 + (x - 20)*$4 = $880

Now let's solve that for x.

x*$12 - $80 = $880

x*$12 = $880 + $80 = $960

x = $960/$12 = 80

They sold 80 adult tickets.

In the following activity, write an equation to represent each verbal statement, and use it to find the value of each unknown number. Then, put the solution values in order from smallest to largest. [Note: The smallest solution is "first", and the largest solution is "fifth".]

The solution values in order from smallest to largest are;

-13 - First-10 - Second-3.5 - Third-2 - Fourth-0.75 - Fifth

Unknown equation

let

the unknown number = x

(x - 5)-2 = 14

-2x + 10 = 14

-2x = 14 - 10

-2x = 4

x = 4/-2

x = -2

4x - 5 = -8

4x = -8 + 5

4x = -3

x = -3/4

x = -0.75

(x + 3) / 5 = -2

x + 3 = -2(5)

x + 3 = -10

x = -10 - 3

x = -13

1/2x + 4 = -1

1/2x = -1 - 4

1/2x = -5

x = -5 ÷ 1/2

= -5×2/1

x = -10

x + 2 = 6/-4

-4(x + 2) = 6

-4x - 8 = 6

-4x = 6 + 8

-4x = 14

x = 14/-4

x = -3.5

Therefore, the smallest value is -13 and the largest value is -0.75.

Draw the graph of changing length of shadow of a stick from 12pm to 5pm.

Answers

The graph of changing length of shadow of a stick from 12pm to 5pm shows that length of shadow increases.

When an object (like the stick in the cartoon) blocks some of the Sun's light, it casts a shadow. The shadow always points away from the Sun. How long the shadow is depends on how low or high the Sun is in the sky. If the Sun is low, we see a longer shadow. Is the Sun is high, we see a shorter shadow.

Length of shadow due to the Sun's light is smallest when the Sun is vertically above. This happens at 12 noon.

Thus the graph of changing length of shadow of a stick from 12pm to 5pm shows that length of shadow increases.

The environment of the test subjects is managed in an experiment depending on the issue.

Three things characterize statistical experiments in general:

There are various outcomes that the experiment could produce.

In an experiment, the cause, the independent variable, is changed while the effect, the dependent variable, is measured and any unrelated factors are controlled.

A packaging factory is open from Monday to Saturday. In a particular week, 15,000 packets were packed on Monday and the factory was also closed on Tuesday. If no less than 100,000 packets should be packed in that week, what is the minimum equal number of packets that must be packed per day for the remaining days?

Answers

Answer:

A minimum of 21250 packets per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Monday produced 15,000 packets, and Tuesday was closed they produced 15,000 packets in 2 days.

The factory is open 6 days a week.

They need 100,000 packets.

They have 15,000 packets.

6 subtract 2 is 4.

100,000 subtract 15,000 is 85,000.

They need 85,000 packets in 4 days.

In which:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the population.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.96.

For this problem, the other parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x} = 21, \sigma = 26.8, n = 225[/tex]

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

[tex]\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 21 - 1.96\frac{26.8}{\sqrt{225}} = 17.5[/tex]

[tex]\overline{x} + z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 21 + 1.96\frac{26.8}{\sqrt{225}} = 24.5[/tex]

write an equation in slope -intercept form for the line that passes through the points (8,-3) and has a slope of 3 over 2

Answers

Answer:

y = 3/2x -15

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b this is the slope intercept form.  We need the slope and the y intercept.  The slope (m) has been given (3/2), we just need the b (y-intercept).  We will use the point given to find b.  The point given is (8,-3).  8 is the x term and -3 is the y term.  We will plug them into y = 3/2x + b to solve for b.

y = mx + b

y = (3/2) x + b   The slope was given

-3 = (3/2)(8) + b  Plugged in the given x and y from the point (8, -3)

-3 = 12 + b  I can make 8 into a fraction by putting a 1 under it.

                   (3/2)(8/1).  I can cross cancel to make the number easier to

                    2 and 8 both share the factor 2 so I will divide both numbers

                   by 2 and I will now have (3/1)(4/1).  3x4 is 12 and 1x1 is 1, so

                   12/1 is  the same as 12.

-15 = b      Subtract both sides by 12.  -3-12 is -15

Now that I have the m and the b, I can write the equation in the slope intercept form.  y =  3/2 + (-15) or y = 3/2 -15
