Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets

Find the distance between the points (0, 10) and (–9, 1).
Assoli18 [71]
D=sqrt[(x1-x2)^2+(y2-y1)^2]
(0,10) x1=0 y1=10 and (-9,1) x2=-9 y2=1
now d=sqrt[(-9-0)^2+(1-10)^2]=12.72792206 units
