We are given a problem that can be solved using a system of linear equations. Let A, be the number of adults, and S the number of students. Since there are in total 142 people and there were two days, this means that the sum of the number of adults and the number of students must be 284, which can be written mathematically as follows:
[tex]A+S=284,(1)[/tex]This is our first equation. The second equation is found using the total sales of $1948. Since the ticket per adult is $8 and per student is $5, we have the following equations:
[tex]8A+5S=1948,(2)[/tex]To solve this equation we will solve for A in equation (1), by subtracting S to both sides;
[tex]\begin{gathered} A+S-S=284-S \\ A=284-S \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we will replace this value in equation (2):
[tex]8(284-S)+5S=1948[/tex]Now we will apply the distributive property:
[tex]2272-8S+5S=1948[/tex]Addins like terms:
[tex]2272-3S=1948[/tex]Subtracting 2272 to both sides;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2272-2272-3S=1948-2272 \\ -3S=-324 \end{gathered}[/tex]Dividing both sides by -3:
[tex]S=-\frac{324}{-3}=108[/tex]Now we replace this value in equation (1), where we have already solved for A:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=248-108 \\ A=140 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, there were sold 108 student tickets and 140 adult tickets.

We are given a set of data with the employee number and the corresponding weekly wage.
Part 1.1 To determine the wage per hour we need to find the quotient between the weekly wage and the number of hours worked per week.
In the case of employee 1, we have that his weekly wage was 1680, therefore, the weekly payment per hour is:
[tex]p=\frac{1680}{42}=40\text{ per hour}[/tex]The weekly payment is $40 per hour.
Part 1.2 We have that employee number 4 work a total of 6 hours each day of the week. Since there are 7 days per week we have that the total number of hours during the week is:
[tex]h_4=(6day)(7)=42\text{ }hours[/tex]Now, we multiply by the rate of payment per week, therefore, his weekly pay must be:
[tex]p_4=(42hours)(40\text{ per hour\rparen}=1680[/tex]Therefore, the weekly wage of 4 is 1680.
Part 1.3 To determine the number of hours that employee 8 we must have into account that the number of hours per week by the rate of pay per hour is the total weekly wage, therefore:
[tex](40\text{ per hour\rparen}h_8=2000[/tex]Now, we divide both sides by 40:
[tex]h_8=\frac{2000}{40}=50hours[/tex]Therefore, employee 8 worked 50 hours.
Part 1.4 Since the weekly payment is proportional to the number of hours this means that the employee that worked the least number of hours is the one with the least weekly wage.
We have that employee 5 has the smaller wage, therefore, employee 5 worked the least number of hours.
Part 1.5 we are asked to identify the dependent variable between weekly wage and the number of hours worked.
Since the number of hours does not depend on any of the other considered variables this means that this is the independent variable. Therefore, the dependent variables is the weekly wage. The correct answer is A
Part 1.6 The modal value of a set of data is the value that is repeated the most. We have that the weekly wage that is repeated the most is 1600 since it is the wage of employees 2 and 7. Therefore, the modal value is 1600
Part 1.7 The range of a set of data is the difference between the maximum and minimum values. The maximum wage is 2000 and the minimum is 1160, therefore, the range is:
[tex]R=2000-1160=840[/tex]The range is 840

Now, since the base is a square which sides that has length 5 in. then the perimeter is:
[tex]p=4\cdot5=20[/tex]The area of the base is the length of the side squared, then we have:
[tex]B=5^2=25[/tex]Once we know the values we plug them in the formula, then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=\frac{1}{2}(20)(4)+25 \\ SA=40+25 \\ SA=65 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the surface area is 65 squared inches.

Compute the percent of profit or loss on shares of stock purchased at8.625 and sold at 10.75.
ANSWER:
24.63%
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
The first thing is to mention that it is a profit because it was bought at a lower amount than it was sold, therefore
We take 100% as the lowest value, and thus we calculate the profit percentage
[tex]10.75\cdot\frac{100}{8.625}=124.63[/tex]Then the difference between both percentages is the profit percentage
[tex]124.63-100=24.63[/tex]A store is having a " 15 % off sale on perfume . You have a coupon for 50 % off any perfume . What is the final price , in dollars , of a $ 30 bottle of perfume ? If necessary round your answer to the nearest cent .
ANSWER
$12.75
EXPLANATION
The store is selling the perfumes at 15% off the original price, so if a bottle of perfume costs $30, then they are selling it at,
[tex]30\cdot\frac{100-15}{100}=30\cdot\frac{85}{100}=30\cdot0.85=25.50[/tex]But you also have a coupon for 50% off, so you get to buy the perfume at half that price,
[tex]25.50\cdot\frac{50}{100}=25.50\cdot0.5=12.75[/tex]Hence, the final price of the perfume is $12.75.
The vertices of a figure are A(1, -1), B(5, -6), and C(1, - 6). Rotate the figure 90° counterclockwise about the origin. Find the coordinates of the image. Polygon
A'(1,1)
B' (6,5)
C' (6,1)
Explanation
Step 1
Let
A(1,-1)
B(5,-6)
C(1,-6)
Step 2
find the image (A'B'C')
When rotating a point 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin our point A(x,y) becomes A'(-y,x). In other words, switch x and y and make y negative.
Hence
[tex]\begin{gathered} A\mleft(1,-1\mright)\rightarrow A^{\prime}(1,1) \\ B(5,-6)\rightarrow B^{\prime}(6,5) \\ C(1,-6)\rightarrow C^{\prime}(6,1) \end{gathered}[/tex]so, the coordinates of the image are
A'(1,1)
B' (6,5)
C' (6,1)

when doing right triangle trigonometry how do you determine which sine you use like sin, cos etc?
Let's draw a right triangle to guide us:
Every right triangle will have one hypotenuse side and two leg sides. The hypotenuse is always the bigger one and it is always opposite to the right angle, so in this triangle the hypotenuse is a (the letter can change from exercise to exercise, but it is always the opposite to the rignt angle).
The legs can be classified as adjancent or opposite legs, but this is with respect to the angle we are using.
So, if we are using angle C, the opposite leg is the leg that is opposite to angle C, that is, c.
Thus, the adjancent leg is the leg that is touching the angle C, that is, b.
So, with respect to angle C, we have:
Hypotenuse - a
Opposite leg - c
Adjacent leg - b
The sine is the ratio between the opposite leg and the hypotenuse, always.
The cosine is the ratio between the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse, always.
The tangent is the ratio between the opposite leg and the adjacent leg, always.
For, for angle C, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin C=\frac{c}{a} \\ \cos C=\frac{b}{a} \\ \tan C=\frac{c}{b} \end{gathered}[/tex]For angle B, we do the same, however now, the legs are switched, because the leg that is opposite to angle B is b and the leg that is adjance to angle B is c, so, for angle B:
Hypotenuse - a
Opposite leg - b
Adjacent leg - c
And we follow the same for sine, cosine and tangent but now for angle B and with the legs switched:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin B=\frac{b}{a} \\ \cos B=\frac{c}{a} \\ \tan B=\frac{b}{c} \end{gathered}[/tex]Questions regaring these ratios normally will present 2 values and ask for a third value. One of the values will be an angle, the other will be side (usually). So, we need to identify which angle are we working with and which sides are the hypotenuse, the opposite leg and adjancent leg with respect to the angle we will work with. Then we identify which of the side we will use and pick the ratio thet relates the sides we will use.

A square has side length (2x+3). The perimeter is 60cm. Find the length of one side in centimetres
As given by the question
There are given that the side length is (2x+3) and perimeter is 60 cm.
Now,
From the formula of perimeter:
[tex]\text{Perimeter =4}\times side[/tex]So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter =4}\times side \\ 60=4\times(2x+3) \\ 60=8x+12 \\ 8x=60-12 \\ 8x=48 \\ x=\frac{48}{8} \\ x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then,
Put the value of x into the given side length (2x+3)
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+3=2\times6+3 \\ =12+3 \\ =15 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the one side of length is 15 cm.

Write this ratio as a fraction in simplest form without any units.75 minutes to 1 hourYou can use the table below to help convert the units.1 minute = 60 seconds1 hour = 60 minutes-1 day = 24 hours1 week = 7 days0
To get an unitless ratio, both of our quantities have to be in the same units. Let's convert that hour into minutes:
[tex]1h\rightarrow60\min [/tex]Thereby, our ratio would be:
[tex]\frac{75\min }{60\min }\rightarrow\frac{5}{4}[/tex]What is the median of the data set 4 7 9 10 5 12 6
The median is the value of the data set that separates the sample in halves.
To determine the median of a determined data set, you have to calculate its position.
The given sample has n=7 elements, to determine the position of the median given that the data set is odd, you have to use the following formula:
[tex]\text{PosMe}=\frac{1}{2}(n+1)[/tex]Replace it with n=7
[tex]\begin{gathered} PosMe=\frac{1}{2}(7+1) \\ \text{PosMe}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot8 \\ \text{PosMe}=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]This result indicates that the media is the fourth observation of the data set.
Next, you have to order the data set from least to greatest:
Original data set: 4, 7, 9, 10, 5, 12, 6
Ordered from least to greatest: 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12
Once the data set is ordered, you have to count starting from the left until you reach the fourth observation:
O4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 1
The fourth value of the data set is 7, which means that the median of the data set is 7.

The derivative is the instantaneous rate of change of a function with respect to one of its variables. This is equivalent to finding the slope of the tangent line to the function at a point.
The function is given to be:
[tex]T(t)=Ate^{-kt}[/tex]where A and k are positive constants.
We can find the derivative of the function as follows:
[tex]T^{\prime}(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(Ate^{-kt})[/tex]Step 1: Pull out the constant factor
[tex]T^{\prime}(t)=A\cdot\frac{d}{dt}(te^{-kt})[/tex]Step 2: Apply the product rule
[tex]\frac{d(uv)}{dx}=u \frac{dv}{dx}+v \frac{du}{dx}[/tex]Let
[tex]\begin{gathered} u=t \\ v=e^{-kt} \\ \therefore \\ \frac{du}{dt}=1 \\ \frac{dv}{dt}=-ke^{-kt} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, we have:

[tex]rate\text{ }of\text{ }change=A[/tex]QUESTION B
At t = 30, the instantaneous rate of change is calculated to be:

[tex]rate\text{ }of\text{ }change=Ae^{-30k}(-30k+1)[/tex]QUESTION C
When the rate of change is equal to 0, we have:

To calculate the probability that selecting 5 random articles, getting as a result that exactly 3 of the chosen articles are editorials, we use the binomial probability formula:
[tex]P(n,x)=C(n,x)\cdot p^x\cdot(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]Where:
• n = the number of trials = the number of articles selected randomly = 5,
,• x = the number of success = the number of editorials that we expect = 3,
,• p = the probability of getting an editorial = 5/12,
,• C(n,x) = n! / (x! (n-x)!).
Replacing the data in the formula above, we get:
[tex]P(n=5,x=3)=\frac{5!}{3!\cdot(5-3)!}\cdot(\frac{5}{12})^3\cdot(1-\frac{5}{12})^{5-3}\cong0.24615=0.2462[/tex]Answer
Rounded to four decimal places, the probability that exactly 3 of the chosen articles are editorials is 0.2462.
jonathans science class places weights on a scale during an experiment. each weight weighs 0.2 kilograms. if the class puts 16 weights on the scale at the same time, what will the scale read?
Given the scale reading:
Each weight weighs 0.2 kilograms
If the class put 16 weights on the scale
Then the scale reading will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ weight -}\longrightarrow\text{ 0.2 kg} \\ 16\text{ weight -}\longrightarrow\text{ x} \\ x=16\times0.2 \\ x=3.2\operatorname{kg} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the scale reading will be 3.2kg
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the given equation. (-6, -6); y=-2x+4
Answer:
y = 2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope is 2.
y = mx + b
When need the slope which is given to be 2
We will use the point given (-6,-6) for an x and y on the line
m= 2
x -= -6
y = -6
y=mx+ b
-6 = 2(-6) + b Sole for b
-6 = -12 + b Add 12 to both sides
6 = b
y = 2x + 6
Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?x^2 - 13x + 42A. x + 84B. x - 7C. x^2 +12D. x + 7
Given the following trinomial:
[tex]x^2-13x+42[/tex]To factor the trinomial, we need two numbers the product of them = 42
And the sum of them = -13
Two of the numbers of factors of 42 = -6, and -7
So, the factor of the trinomial will be as follows:
[tex]x^2-13x+42=(x-6)(x-7)[/tex]So, the answer will be option B. x - 7
Write the expression as a product of two factors. 12s + 10 + 6y
to write the expression as a product between two factors you must identify the common factor between all the terms in tis case the common factow will be 2
[tex]12s+10+6y=2\cdot(6s+5+3y)[/tex]
