Adults
Children
Total

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

She bought 54 child tickets and 19 adult tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of tickets purchased = 73

Cost of tickets = $771

Cost of one child ticket = $9

Cost of one adult ticket = $15

Let,

Child ticket = x

Adult ticket = y

According to given statement;

x+y=73   Eqn 1

9x+15y=771   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 9;

9(x+y=73)\n9x+9y=657\ \ \ Eqn\ 3\n

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

(9x+15y)-(9x+9y)=771-657\n9x+15y-9x-9y=114\n6y=114\n

Dividing both sides by 6;

(6y)/(6)=(114)/(6)\ny=19

Putting y=19 in Eqn 1

x+19=73\nx=73-19\nx=54\n

She bought 54 child tickets and 19 adult tickets.

Solve for a and b in the graphed hyperbola

Answers

ANSWER

a=1 and b=-12

EXPLANATION

The hyperbola has a hole at:

x=3

and a vertical asymptote at x=-4.

This implies that the denominator of the rational function is

(x-3)(x+4)

We expand to get;

{x}^(2) + 4x - 3x - 12

This simplifies to:

{x}^(2) + x - 12

comparing to

{x}^(2) + ax + b

We have a=1 and b=-12

Write the equation in standard form: 3x-9=7y

Answers

If in standard form you mean slope intercept form, then you are looking to create an equation that looks like this:

y = mx + b

So you need to move around the numbers whilst keeping both sides equivalent.

3x - 9 = 7y
7y = 3x - 9
y = (3x)/7 - 9/7

Your answer should look like this:

y = (3x)/7 - 9/7

If this is not what you meant by standard form please comment and I will see if I can adjust the answer.

How can I get into Stanford University? I'm in 7th grade right now and parents' expectations... I don't want one of those simple study and practice answers. Thanks in advance.

Answers

Keep your grades up like no less than an A or B average and if they cant afford to pay it all try different sports and get a scholarship, but it will still require a lot of work and stay out of trouble to that's important into getting into any good college. But right now if you wanted to find what you'd like to major in and focus on that. You cant apply for a few more years so just stay focused on your goal and if its something you really want you'll get it.
Honestly, Stanford is my dream school. I stress myself out everyday because that is where i want to be. If there is one tbing I wish, its to be a little but chilled out in middle school. Dont stress in middle school! Colleges dont look for that. Here is my advice for high school, since i just completed my first year:
1.) join at least one extra curricular in your first year and stick to it. I suggest joining at least two in order and be COMMITTED!!
2.) try to get a 4.0 and joing AP/honors classes to boost your gpa. Dont worry about the AP tes because some schools dont accept it.
3.) EXPLORE! Do something new. Join a club, volunteer, etc. this is so important.
4.) If you can, join a sport!! It teaches a lot, trust me.
5.) Apply to pre college programs IMMEDIATELY!! these are so amazing and look for finacial aid.
6.) Speak to your counselors. They will tell you about new things and orograms. It will help
7.) Volunteer. It looks great.
8.) have some fun. I was so stress all year. Relax and have fun!!
Hooe this helps. There is no guarantee that you will get into stanford, just do the beat you can!! Thats what im doing
