Answer: 321 adult tickets and 227 children tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.

The total number of tickets that the theatre sold is 548. This means that

x + y = 548

Adult tickets sell for $6.50 each, and children's tickets sell for $3.50 each. The total ticket sales was $2881. This means that

6.5x + 3.5y = 2881 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 548 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6.5(548 - y) + 3.5y = 2881

3562 - 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881

- 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881 - 3562

- 3y = - 681

y = - 681/ -3

y = 227

x = 548 - y = 548 - 227

x = 321

Elis [28]

Answer:

A. ⇒ The expression is b + 3

B. ⇒ The expression is 2b - 4

C. ⇒ The Dr's office is closer by 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b miles

∵ The swimming pool is 3 miles farther from his school

∴ The distance between Daniel's house and the swimming pool is b + 3

B.

∵ The distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is 4 less than twice the distance from home to Daniel's school

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b

∴ The expression of distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is

   2b - 4

C.

∵ b = 3

∴ The distance between his house and swimming pool is:

   3 + 3 = 6 miles

∴ The distance between his house and Dr's office is:

   2(3) - 4 = 2 miles

∴ The Dr's office is closer to Daniel's house than the swimming pool by:

   6 - 2 = 4 miles

Find the surface area of the cube shown.<br> (_________) square centimeters
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The answer is: 181.5 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cube has six faces, and each face is a square with sides of length 5.5, so the area of one of this faces is 5.5^2=30.25, adding the six faces, we get the answer: A=6\times 30.25=181.5

Can someone answer this question please answer it correctly if it’s corect I will mark you brainliest
lana [24]

Answer:

1/21

Step-by-step explanation:

Cards: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8      7 cards

1st card :5

P(5) = number of 5's / total

       = 1/7

Then we keep the card

Cards: 2,3,4,6,7,8   only 6 cards left

card less than 4: 2,3

P (card less than 4)  = number of cards less than 4/ total cards

                                  = 2/6 = 1/3

P (5, no replacement, card less than 4) = P(5) * P( less than 4)

                                                                 = 1/7 * 1/3

                                                                  =1/21

Which statement describes if there is an extraneous solution to the equation √x-3 = x-5? A. there are no solutions to the equati
Brrunno [24]
Remember that <span>an extraneous solution of an equation, is the solution that emerges from solving the equation but is not a valid solution.
 
Lets solve our equation to find out what is the extraneous solution:
</span>\sqrt{x-3} =x-5
(\sqrt{x-3})^2 =(x-5)^2
x-3=x^2-10x+25
x^2-11x+28=0
(x-4)(x-7)=0
x-4=0 and x-7=0
x=4 and x=7
<span>
So, the solutions of our equation are </span>x=4 and x=7. Lets replace each solution in our original equation to check if they are valid solutions:
- For x=7
\sqrt{x-3} =x-5
\sqrt{7-3} =7-5
\sqrt{4} =2
2=2
We can conclude that 7 is a valid solution of the equation.

- For x=4
\sqrt{x-3} =x-5
\sqrt{4-3} =4-5
\sqrt{1} =1
1 \neq 1
We can conclude that 4 is not a valid solution of the equation; therefore, 4 is a extraneous solution.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: <span>D. the extraneous solution is x = 4</span>
