111.

660/6 = 110. In order to make a profit you need to sell at least one more than that.

Hope this helps.

At least 110 tickets to counter act the cost of the play, so I think it would be x>110 tickets

Darryl left the White House and traveled toward the ferry office at an average speed of 25 mph. Some time later Jacob left trave

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Darryl :

Speed = 25mph

Jacob:

Traveled in opposite direction

Speed = 35mph

After Darryl had traveled for 4 hours, Distance between them was 170 miles

Distance traveled by Darryl :

Speed * time = (25 * 4) = 100 miles

Total distance = distance traveled by Darryl + distance traveled by Jacob

170 miles = 100 miles + distance traveled by jacob

Distance traveled by Jacob = 170 - 100

Distance traveled by Jacob = 70 miles

Time = distance / speed

Time traveled by Jacob = 70 miles / 35mph

Time traveled by Jacob = 2 hours

The answer is 14 because you have to substitute every answer with x and find which one both are equal to each other because both sides of the triangle are equal it is an equilateral triangle so the angles need to be congruent.
