The freshman spirit club took a trip to the state fair .There were 59 students and 6 chaperones, and the total admission cost for the group was 508$.Student tickets cost 2$ more than the chaperone tickets.Write an equation to represent the cost of a student ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

First you determine the variables x and y as:

x: the value for student tickets

y: the value for chaperone tickets.

Knowing that student tickets cost $ 2 more than companion tickets, it is represented by the equation:

x= y +2

On the other hand, there were 59 students and 6 companions. And the total cost of admission for the group was $ 508, that is to say that what all the students and the companions have paid adds up to $ 508. Expressed by an equation:

59x + 6y = 508

Then the system of equations to solve and thus obtain the price of a student ticket and the price of a companion ticket is:

Solving for x, the price of a student ticket:

Rearranging  the first equation,

y = x - 2

Replacing in the second equation and solving for x:

59*x + 6*(x -2)=508

59*x + 6*x -12=508

65*x -12=508

65*x= 508 +12

65*x= 520

x=8

The cost of a student ticket is 8$

0.5 < x < 3

or (0.5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

-16t² + 56t + 2 = 26

Subtract both sides by 26

-16t² + 56t + 2 = 26

                 -26   -26

-16t² + 56t - 24 = 0

Divide both sides by -8 to simplify

(-16t² + 56t - 24)/8 = 0/8

2t² - 7t + 3 = 0

Factor

(x - 3)(2x - 1) = 0

Do this to find the x's

x - 3 = 0

 + 3  +3

x = 3

2x - 1 = 0

    + 1  + 1

2x = 1

2x/2 = 1/2

x = 0.5

0.5 < x < 3

This means the intervals will have to be between 0.5 and 3 seconds
