Number one would be 13 because you have to add the x to both sides which will leave you with 2x=26 then you have to divide by 2 and you will get x=13. Number two is 7 7/8 because you have to add the 1/3x to the other 1/3x to get 2/3x= 5 1/4 so then you divide both sides by 2/3 and to divide a fraction you do keep change flip so it would be 21/4 times 3/2 which would be 63/8 which simplifys to 7 7/8.
The answer is 4.51 and what needs to be added to 4.5 is a .01
Answer:
113
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adult tickets sold =a
Let the number of student tickets sold =s
A total of 259 tickets were sold, therefore:
a+s=259
Adult tickets were sold for $24 each and student tickets were sold for $16 each.
Total Revenue = $5,312
Therefore:
24a+16s=5,312
We solve the two derived equations simultaneously.
From the first equation
a=259-s
Substitute a=259-s into 24a+16s=5,312
24(259-s)+16s=5,312
6216-24s+16s=5,312
-8s=5,312-6216
-8s=-904
Divide both sides by -8
s=113
Therefore, 113 student tickets were sold.
