Using a system of equations, it is found that they expect to sell 175 adult tickets and 350 student tickets.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable a: Number of adults that attend.
  • Variable s: Number of students that attend.

They expect that twice as many students as adults will attend, hence:

s = 2a.

Their goal is to earn $1,500 from ticket sales, hence:

10a + 5s = 1500.

10a + 5(2a) = 1500.

20a = 1500.

a = 1500/20.

a = 175.

s = 2a = 2 x 175 = 350.

They expect to sell 175 adult tickets and 350 student tickets.

The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 96. What is the smallest of the three numbers
lidiya [134]
The answer is 30.

First off, the numbers are consecutive even numbers. So, the difference between every consecutive number is 2 (numbers go from even to odd to even to odd...). Since the sum of their numbers is 96, I divided that by 3 to get 32. This gives me the median of the three numbers. To find the smallest number, I simply subtracted 2 from the 32.


This may help:

96/3=32

32 + 32 + 32 = 96
(32-2)+(32+0)+(32+2)=96
30+32+34=93

Base your answer on Betty is thinking of two consecutive integers whose sum is 41.
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

let the numbers be, x and x+1 ( as it is consecutive number the next number will have 1 more than the number )

sum = 41

so, x + ( x + 1 ) = 41

      x + x + 1 = 41

        2x + 1 = 41

             2x = 41 -1 = 40

              2x = 40

                x = 40/2 = 20

x = 20

x + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21

so the consecutive numbers whose sum is 40 are, 20 and 21  

hope this answer helps you.....
