Using a system of equations, it is found that 225 adult tickets were sold for the school play.

<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 x: Number of adult tickets.
  • Variable y: Number of student tickets.

A total of 376 tickets were sold for the school play, hence:

x + y = 376 -> y = 376 - x.

There were 74 fewer students tickets sold than adult tickets, hence:

y = x - 74.

Then:

x - 74 = 376 - x

2x = 450

x = 450/2

x = 225.

this past Sunday, the giants scored 9 less than twice the cowboys. the packers scored 14 points more than the giants. if the tea
Grace [21]
Let the score of cowboys is x
and giants make score 9 which is twice less than the cowboys score so
giants score will be = 2x -9
and packers scored 14 more than giants that is (2x - 9) + 14
now sum of their scores is equal to 81 it means:
x + (2x - 9) + (2x -9) + 14 = 81
x + 2x - 9 + 2x - 9 + 14 = 81
5x = 81 + 4
5x = 85
x = 17
packers scored =  (2x - 9) + 14
= 2 (17) -9 + 14
=38 + 5 = 43 points

Learning task 1: find the value of the expression given the value of the variables 3x + 5 x = 2 5xy + x - 4 , x = -3 and y = 5
olasank [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5x=25xy+x-4

8x=25xy+x-4

8(-3)=25(-3)(5)+(-3-4)

-24=25(-15)+(-7)

-24= -375-7

-24= -382

if the question is right that you asked, i mean the = sign then the solution is will be come like this but if there is no = sign then you can get the solution by subtracting -24-382= -406

Rectangle A measures 10 inches by 8 inches. Rectangle B is an enlarged copy of Rectangle A. Select all of the measurement pairs
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle A:

Length: 10\ in

Width: 8\ in

Required

Determine the possible dimensions of Rectangle B

<em>The question has missing options; however, the question can still be solved.</em>

<em></em>

Rectangle B being an enlarged copy of A implies that the dimension of A A is enlarged in equal proportion to form B

Take for instance, the measurements of Rectangle B are

Length: 15 in

Width: 12 in

Divide the corresponding lengths of B by A to get the enlargement ratio

Ratio = \frac{B}{A}

For length:

Ratio = \frac{15}{10}

Ratio = 1.5

For width

Ratio = \frac{12}{8}

Ratio = 1.5

Notice that both ratios are the same.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is an enlargement of A

Assume another measurements for B

Length: 20\ in

Width: 10\ in

Calculate Ratios

Ratio = \frac{B}{A}

For length:

Ratio = \frac{20}{10}

Ratio = 2

For width

Ratio = \frac{10}{8}

Ratio = 1.25

Notice that, both ratios are not equal.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is not an enlargement of A

<em>Conclusively, all you have to do is: determine the ratios of the dimensions of B to A, if the result are equal then B is an enlarged copy of A; if otherwise, then B is not an enlarged copy</em>
