$5a+c=-8a \\ 5a+c-5a=-8a-5a \\ c=-13a \\ \frac{c}{-13} = \frac{-13a}{-13} \\ -\frac{c}{13} =a$

The 9th graders are selling tickets to raise money for a class field trip. They are selling student tickets for $5 and adult tic

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the number of student tickets sold.

Let $y$ be the number of adult tickets sold.

As per the question statement, total tickets sold are 40.

$x +y =40 ...... (1)$

Price of each student ticket = $5

Sales from students' tickets = Price of each students ticket $\times$ Number of students tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 5 $\times x$

Price of each adult ticket = $9

Sales from adult's tickets = Price of each adult's ticket $\times$ Number of adult tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 9 $\times y$

Total sales is done by students and adult tickets is $240 as per the question statement.

$\Rightarrow 5x + 9y = 240 ......(2)$

Solving equations (1) and (2) using elimination method:

Equation $(2) - 5 \times (1)$ :

$5x + 9y -5x-5y = 240-200\\\Rightarrow 4y = 40\\\Rightarrow y =10$

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Putting $y=10$ in equation (1):

$x+10 = 40\\\Rightarrow x = 30$

Total number of students tickets sold = 30

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30

13.1: Equivalent Expressions

scoundrel [369]

Distributive Property: a ( b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

b) x(x + 9) = x*x + 9*x

= x² + 9x

c) x² - 18x

x² = x * x

18x = 18 *x

G C F = x

Greatest common factor in both the terms is 'x'.Take the common variable from both the terms.

x² - 18x = x*x - 18*x

= x (x - 18)

Standard form. Factored form

x² x*x

x² + 9x x(x +9)

x² - 18x x(x - 18)

-x² + 10x x(-x + 10) = x(10 -x)

-x² - 2.75x -x(x + 2.75)
