How Can We Use Variables And Equations To Help Us Solve Problems?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Variables help show the numbers and equation show the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

If the equation is in the form, ax + b = c, where x is the variable, you can solve the equation as before. First “undo” the addition and subtraction, and then “undo” the multiplication and division. Solve 3y + 2 = 11. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get the term with the variable by itself.

Adult tickets to a musical cost $15 and children's tickets cost $8. A total of 725 tickets were sold which brought in a total of $8775.

How many of each type of ticket were sold?

State the equation used to solve, along with both answers.

Answers

Given:

Cost of adult's ticket = $15

Cost of  children's  ticket = $8

Total tickets = 725

Total sales = $8775

To find:

The number of each type of ticket were sold.

Solution:

Let x be the number of adult tickets and y be the number of children's ticket.

Total tickets : [tex]x+y=725[/tex]         ...(i)

Total sales : [tex]15x+18y=8775[/tex]           ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 15.

[tex]15x+15y=10875[/tex]         ...(iii)

Subtract (iii) from (ii),

[tex]15x+18y-15x-15y=8775-10875[/tex]

[tex]3x=-2100[/tex]

[tex]x=-700[/tex]

Putting x=-700 in (i), we get

[tex]-700+y=725[/tex]

[tex]y=725+700[/tex]

[tex]y=1425[/tex]

Therefore, the number of adult tickets is -700 and number of child tickets is 1425.

Note: The number of tickets cannot be negative. So, there must be some error in the question.

The angles of a triangle are x,2x,3x. Find the value of x in degrees​

Answers

Answer: x = 30°
Sum of interior angles is 180°, and there are 6x’s. 180 divided by 6 is 30

Answer:

x=30°

Step-by-step explanation:

x +2x+3x=6x

since triangles are 180° in total. 6/180=30

so 30° is your answer.


Find a point-slope form for the line with slope 1/5 and passing through the point (-4,-9).

Answers

Answer:

y + 9 = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex](x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] and (a, b) = (- 4, - 9) , thus

y - (- 9) = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex](x - (- 4) ) , that is

y + 9 = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex](x + 4)

the diagram shows a circle inside a square ABCDB AB = 20 cm. the radius of the circle is 9 cm. work out the area of the shaded region

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square = a²

= 20²

= 400cm²

Area of the circle = πr²

= 22/7 × 9²

= 22/7 × 81

= 254.57cm²

Area of the shaded region = Area of the square - Area of the circle

= 400cm² - 254.57cm²

= 145.43cm²

Explain how you calculate the constant of variation.

Answers

Answer:Since k is constant (the same for every point), we can find k when given any point by dividing the y-coordinate by the x-coordinate. For example, if y varies directly as x, and y = 6 when x = 2, the constant of variation is k = = 3. Thus, the equation describing this direct variation is y = 3x.

Step-by-step explanation:The constant of variation means the relationship between variables does not change. When we want to identify the constant of variation for an equation, it is helpful to refer to one of the following formulas: xy = k (inverse variation) or y/x = k (direct variation), where k is the constant of variation.

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\text{96 students}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many students stay back for Chess Club, we want to find 12% of 800.

To do this, we can set up a percentage proportion.

[tex]\frac{12}{100} = \frac{x}{800}[/tex]

We can now solve for x by cross multiplying.

[tex]800 \cdot 12 = 9600\\9600 \div 100 = 96[/tex]

So, 96 students attend Chess Club on Wednesdays.

Alexa took a test and lost 3 points for each of the 7 questions she got wrong. She earned an additional 5 points for answering a bonus question correctly. How many points did Alexa receive or lose overall?

Answers

Answer:

Alexa lost 16 points overall

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether Alexa had a net receipt or loss of points, we will fine the total points received or lost, and find the difference:

points lost:

3 point for each of the 7 questions she answered wrong

lost point = 3 × 7 - 21 points

Points received:

5 points for answering a bonus question

point received = 5 point

The points lost (21) is greater than the points received (5), hence, there was a net loss. The net loss is calculated as follows:

points lost - points received

= 21 - 5 = 16

∴ Alexa lost 16 points overall

Make & the subject of the
Formula
6x ta=5(x+t)

What is the answer please

Answers

Answer is x = 5t-a

6x+a = 5(x+t) Expand the bracket
6x+a = 5x+5t Subtract the least x’s (so 5x)
x+a = 5t Subtract a to make x the subject
x = 5t-a

Answer:

x  = 5t - a

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem deals with making a variable the subject of the formula in the expression.

 Given expression:

            6x + a = 5(x + t)

  We are to make x the subject of the formula in the expression

   

Solution:

           6x + a  = 5(x+t)

On the right hand side, expand the parentheses and distribute the term outside;

          6x + a  = 5x + 5t

   Bring the term desired to be the subject to one side by adding (-5x) to both sides;

     6x + (-5x) + a = 5x + (-5x) + 5t

           x + a  = 5t

  Now add (-a) to both sides

         x + a + (-a) = 5t + (-a)

          x  = 5t - a
