Answer is (4x³ - 6)(16x² + 36 + 24x³)
The answer is neither.
Let's take an odd number and substitute.
- f(3) = 3³ - 4(3)
- f(3) = 27 - 12
- f(3) = 15 (odd)
Now, let's take an even number.
- f(4) = 4³ - 4(4)
- f(4) = 64 - 16
- f(4) = 48 (even)
Since both even and odd numbers are possible, it is neither.
Answer: the number of adult and student tickets sold are (45, 29)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of student tickets that were sold.
On Wednesday, a total of 74 tickets were sold. This means that
x + y = 74
x = 74 - y- - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
If adult tickets are sold for $15 and student tickets are sold for $11 and the money collected was $994, it means that
15x + 11y = 994- - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes
15(74 - y) + 11y = 994
1110 - 15y + 11y = 994
- 15y + 11y = 994 - 1110
- 4y = - 116
y = - 116/ - 4
y = 29
Substituting y = 29 into equation 1, it becomes
x = 74 - 29 = 45
Y - x = 2x - 2/3y
y = 3x - 2/3y
1 2/3y = 3x
y = 1.8x
all you have to do is find pairs of factor for both 15 and 56
e.g. 1,15 3,5
1.56 2, 28 4, 14
so three possibilities could be
1/1 x 15/56
3/4 x 5/14
1/2 x 15/28
