Answer:

562 child tickets were sold

217 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission

At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771

Let x represent the child ticket

Let y represent the adult ticket

x + y= 779..............equation 1

3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y = 779

x= 779 -y

Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2

3x + 5y= 2771

3(779-y) + 5y= 2771

2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771

2337 +2y= 2771

2y= 2771 -2337

2y = 434

y = 434/2

y = 217

Substitute 217 for y in equation 1

x + y= 779

x + 217= 779

x = 779-217

x= 562

Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold

PLEASE HELP ASAP THIS IS THE LAST QUESTION AND I AM STUCK!!

<h3>Answer:  B) 7 units</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The y coordinates of the two points are the same, so we can subtract the x coordinates and apply absolute value

|R - T| = |-6 - 1| = |-7| = 7

Or we can say

|T - R| = |1 - (-6)| = |1 + 6| = |7| = 7

Either way, the two points are 7 units apart.

You could use the distance formula to get the same answer, but that's definitely overkill in my opinion. The trick mentioned above also could work if the x coordinates were the same, but the y coordinates were different. In any other case, you would have to use the distance formula.
