X=-6
You get all the X to one side, and all the numbers to the other. Then divide. Work is shown in image below.
Answer:
<h2>36b + 60c</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Put a = 6 to the expression 2a(3b + 5c):
(2)(6)(3b + 5c) = 12(3b + 5c) <em>use the distributive property</em>
= (12)(3b) + (12)(5c) = 36b + 60c
We can write that as a function:

where
is the number of price reductions. We can see that it is a quadratic function which has the biggest value at P = (p, q). It means that p is the number of reductions which results in the biggest profit.

It means that it's the best to make 2 price reductions for the company. The tickets should be sold for $200 - 2 * $20 = $160. It results in 2 * 50 more tickets sold which is 300 + 100 = 400.
Answer:
Ticket price: $160
Number of tickets: 400
