Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -10

(if you are solving for the x value):

-4x+2=42

subtract two to both sides to cancel the two from the side with -4x

-4x+2-2=42-2

-4x=40

then divide both sides by -4 to get the x by its self

-4x/-4=40/-4

so..

x= -10

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

move all the constants (numbers without variables) to one side to get

-4x = 42 - 2

-4x = 40

multiply by -1

4x = -40

divide by 4

x = -10

60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of adult tickets sold be 'a'

Let the no. of children tickets sold be 'c'

Total tickets sold = 250

Cost of 1 children ticket = $2.5

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $4

Total money collected= $910

Given that,
a + c = 250
a = 250 - c
4a + 2.5c = 910

Substitute a value
4(250 - c) + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 4c + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 1.5c = 910
-1. 5c = -90
1.5c = 90
c = 90/1.5
c = 60
a + c = 250
a + 60 = 250
a = 190

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. So, 81+x^2=1681. ( Pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2). x^2=1600. x=40.
