Answer:

The total sold was 98 tickets for adults and 42 for students.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the number of tickets of each kind sold we need to create a system of equations with the given information. The first equation can be created is that the sum of adult tickets multiplied by its cost with the student tickets also multiplied by its cost must be equal to the total value of tickets sold, so:

5*\text{students} + 8*\text{adults} = 994

We also know that the number of adult tickets was 14 more than 2 times the number of student tickets, therefore:

\text{adults} = 2*\text{students} + 14

If we apply the second expression on the first one we can solve for the number of tickets sold to students, we have:

5*\text{students} + 8*(2*\text{students}  + 14)= 994\\5*\text{students} + 16*\text{students}  + 112 = 994\\ 21*\text{students}  = 994 - 112\\\text{students}  = \frac{882}{21} = 42

We can use this value to find the number of adults ticket sold:

\text{adults} = 2*42 + 14\\\text{adults} = 98

The total sold was 98 tickets for adults and 42 for students.

Answer:

42 student tickets and 98 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number of student tickets 's' and the number of adult tickets 'a'.

Then, we can write the two equations below:

5s + 8a = 994

a = 2s + 14

Using the value of 'a' from the second equation in the first one, we have:

5s + 8*(2s + 14) = 994

5s + 16s + 112 = 994

21s = 882

s = 42

Now, finding the value of 'a', we have:

a = 2*42 + 14 = 98

Can someone explain 3-10 for me I don't get it!!
kicyunya [14]
This can get confusing. Sorry if it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I will explain #3

1) You first have to look at the equation. It says 100 acres to 140 acres. From that information you should know that the number increases, so the percent will be over 100.
2)to set the equation up you do
X
__ =
100
Since every percent is out of 100.
3) Now you have to put the numbers in the equation. Since the original number is 15, so you would put it on the bottom and 18 on top.
X 18
__ = __
100 15
Then you times across
15x=1800
To find x (the percent) you divide both sides by 15
15x 1800
__ = __
15 15
X=120%
It would be increased

Find the midpoint between A(10,1) and B(5,2)
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

midpoint: (7.5, 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint formula: ( (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2 )

x1= 10

x2= 5

y1=1

y2=2

( 10 + 5 )/2 = 7.5

( 1 + 2 )/2 = 1.5

midpoint coordinates => ( 7.5 , 1.5 )
