From Hannah: I am confused about a question on my homework, here is an example on what I need to do:
You own a sightseeing boat tour. Kids' admission costs $5, adults' admission costs $8.
During that day you get (made-up number) $521 with 71 admissions.
How many of each passenger boarded?
I tried something like
5x + 8y = 521
x + y = 71
But, I still don't understand how to solve it! Help? Answered by Penny Nom. |

From Sandra: I have two questions. Please solve both. Thank you.
1.) In your chemistry class, you have a bottle of 5% boric acid solution and a bottle of 2% boric acid solution. You need 60 milliliters of a 3% boric acid for an experiment. How much of each solution do you need to mix them together?
2.) You plant a 14-inch hemlock tree in your backyard that grows at a rate of 4 inches per year and an 8 inch blue spruce that grows at a rate of 6 inches per year. In how many years after you plant the trees will the trees be the same height? How tall will each tree be?
Thank you. I did not understand neither problem, so I could not show any work. Please help. Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Harley Weston. |
