Answer 380998 by mananth(12270) About Me  on 2012-04-26 23:09:08 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x Number of adult tickets
y Number of student tickets
Total attended
7 x + 10 y = 10 .............1

15 x + 8 y = 94 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -4
Multiply (2) by 5
-26 x -40 y = -40
75 x + 40 y = 470
Add the two equations
49 x = 430
/ 49
x = 9
plug value of x in (1)
7 x + 10 y = 10
57 + 10 y = 10
10 y = 10 -57
10 y = -47
y = -5
$ 9 Number of adult tickets

Equations/604073: Hi I need to ask a very important question, this is what my professor said about the answer
"Your answer is incorrect; you can multiply a number by itself 3 times and get a negative. Therefore, you do not get i"
I have done this over and over again, please help me out I have explained to her why I think I need to challenge her. Can anyone help???
Original question with answer below (I got answer from tutor on her and phone a program that I pay to use called www.Mathway.com)
Simplify -3√-1000
Tutor response:-3√-1000 then -3i√1000 which becomes -3(10)i√10 which is -30i√10
Mathway.com response”
-3√-1000
put all the perfect square roots out from under the radical, in this case remove 10i because it is a perfect square
(-3*10i*√10)
remove the parenthesis around the expression
-3*10i*√10
multiple the -30i by -30i
resulting in
-30i√10

Your professor' solution is perfect.

I fail to understand why you multiply -30i by -30i

&

-30i *-30 i = -30*-30*i*i= 900i^2= 900

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Melwin has x
Harvey x-20
Bruce x-53
Rollo x-71
Add them up total is 233
4x-144=233
4x= 144+233
4x=377
/4
x= 94.25
Amount in Dollars
Harvey = 94.25-20= 74.25
Bruce = 94.25-53= 41.25
Rollo= 94.25-71=23.25
Melwin = 94.25


Geometry_Word_Problems/603785: Find the dimensions of a photo that has an area of 48 sq. in and a perimeter of 28 in.
1 solutions

Answer 380829 by mananth(12270) About Me  on 2012-04-26 08:59:17 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let length = x in
width = y in
Perimeter
2(x+y) = 28
x+y = 14
Area
xy = 48
x= 48/y
substitute x
x+y =14
48/y + y = 14
multiply equation by y
48+y^2=14y
y^2-14y+48=0
y^2-8y-6y+48=0
y(y-8)-6(y-8)=0
(y-8)(y-6)=0
y = 6 OR 8
the dimensions are 8 in by 6 in


Travel_Word_Problems/603745: two cars, 645 kilometers apart, begin driving toward each other on long straight highway. one car travels 100 kilometers per hour and the other 10 kilometers per hour. At the same time, a canary, starting on one car, flies back and forth between the two cars as they approach each other. If the canary flies 120 kilometers per hour and spends no time to turn around at each car, how far has it flown when the cars collide?

Answer 380827 by mananth(12270) About Me  on 2012-04-26 08:55:26 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We have to find out how much time the Canary flies, before they collide
Car I speed = 100 km/h
Car II speed = 10km/h
they are moving towards each other
so add up their speeds= 110 km/h
distance = 645 km
Time = d/r
t= 645/110
t= 5.86 hours
speed of Canary = 120 km/h
time = 5.86 hours
so distance it flies = 5.86 *120= 703 km approx

2y+3x=1050
y+x=450
multiply by -2
-2y-2x=-900
2y+3x=1050
Add this equation to the first one
x= 150
x+y =450
Plug x
y+150=450
y=450-150

Distance = speed * time
Time = distance/speed
t=d/r
First condition
Time Part I + time part II = 2.5 hour
30/x+90/y = 2.5
Let 1/x=a & 1/y = b
30a+90b=5/2.......................(1)
Second condition
90/x+30/y = 2 1/6 = 13/6
90a+30b= 13/6......................(2)
add (1) & (2)
120a+120b=5/2+13/6
120a+120b=14/3
divide by 120
a+b= 14/360.............(3)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Boat speed 7 miles
current speed = x

Speed with current 7 + x
Speed against current 7 - x

Distance = 48 miles

t=d/r

Time against current - Time with current = 6 hour

48 /( 7 - x)- 48 /( 7 +x) = 6
LCD= ( 7 - x)( 7 + x)
Multiply equation by LCD
We get
48(7+x)-48(7-x) =6*(7-x)(7+x)
336+48x-336+48 x= 6*(49-x^2)
96 x = 294 - -6 x^2
6 x^2 96 x + -294 = 0
Find the roots of the equation by quadratic formula
a= 6 ,b= 96 c -294
b^2-4ac= 9216 - 7056
b^2-4ac= 16272
