Answer:

The answer to your question is There were sold 166 adult tickets and 294

                                                     children tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total number of seats = 460

cost for adults = a = $52

cost for children = c = $26

Total cost = $16276

Process

1.- Write equations to solve this problem

              a + c = 460                    Equation l

         52a + 26c = 16276             Equation ll

2.- Solve the system of equation by substitution.

-Solve equation l for a

             a = 460 - c

-Substitute a in equation ll

         52(460 - c) + 26c = 16276

-Expand

         23920 - 52c + 26c = 16276

-Simplify

                     -26c = 16276 - 23920

                     -26c = -7644

                          c= -7644/-26

                          c = 294

3.- Find a

                        a = 460 - 294

                        a = 166

Answer: 166 adult tickets and 294 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 ticket prices for a recent play were $52 for adults and $26 for children. If the total proceeds were $16,276 for a sold-out matinee, it means that

52x + 26y = 16276- - - - - - - - - 1

The theater contains 460 seats. Since it was a sold-out matinee, it means that

x + y = 460

Substituting x = 460 - y into equation 1, it becomes

52(460 - y) + 26y = 16276

23920 - 52y + 26y = 16276

- 52y + 26y = 16276 - 23920

- 26y = - 7644

y = - 7644/- 26

y = 294

x = 460 - y = 460 - 294

x = 166

For each set of three lengths determine if they can be the side lengths of a triangle
Luden [163]

Answer:

1) Yes

2) No

3) Yes

4) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the rule: the sum of the two shortest sides must be bigger than the longest side. From there, the answers should be obvious. Just add up the smallest sides for each triplet of lengths and see if that is bigger than the largest side.

7 + 14 > 18, therefore this can be a triangle

3 + 8 < 17, therefore this can't be a triangle

3.2 + 9.0 > 11.5, therefore this can be a triangle

6 + 7 > 8, therefore this can be a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

20+4k


20 = 2*10  = 2* 2*5

4k = 2*2*k

The common factors are 2*2  = 4

We can factor out a 4

What is left over is inside the parentheses
