Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.
<span>That means 400 - x is the number of student tickets.
The revenue from adult tickets will be $3 * x, which we can call 3x.
The revenue from student ticks will be $2 * (400 - x), or 800 - 2x.
The total revenue is $1050, so that means:
3x + (800 - 2x) = 1050.
Removing the parentheses:
3x + 800 - 2x = 1050
</span><span>Subtracting 800 from both sides:
3x - 2x = 250
Simplifying the left side:
x = 250, which is the number of adult tickets.
400-x = student tickets = 400-250 = 150.
ALWAYS check!
In this case, check the revenue:
3x = 3(250) = 750
2(150) = 300
750 + 300 = 1050. Check!</span>
C = 3b+2d is the same as 3b+2d = C
Let's isolate d. To do this, we first need to subtract 3b from both sides
3b+2d = C
3b+2d-3b = C-3b
2d = C-3b
Then divide both sides by 2
2d = C-3b
2d/2 = (C-3b)/2
d = (C-3b)/2
Take note of the parenthesis as they are very important. We want to divide ALL of C-3b over 2. We don't want to just divide -3b over 2.
The answer choices you have aren't 100% clear but I have a feeling your teacher meant to say d = (C-3b)/2 instead of d = C-3b/2 for choice A
If that assumption is correct, then the answer is choice A.
