So what we have to do to solve this problem is to write down those values in 2 equations (one that represents what you sold and the other what your friend sold) compare them and find how much each ticket is worth.
First equation : 11x + 8y = 158
Where x = how much each adult ticket is
and y = how much each student ticket is

The second equation is : 5x + 17y = 152

Using the method of substitution , we can compare each equation side by side:
11x + 8y = 158
5x + 17y = 152
Now we need to set one of the variables of both equations so they are equal:
11(5)x + 8(5) = 158(5)
5(11)x + 17(11)x = 152(11)

55x + 40y = 790
55x + 187y = 1672

Then we subtract the second equation by the first one

55x-55x + 187y - 40y = 1672 - 790
147y = 882
y = 6
The we apply y to one of the equations to discover x :
11x + 8y = 158
11x + 8(6) = 158
11x + 48 = 158
11x = 110
x = 10

So the awnser is :
Each adult ticket (x) is $10
And each student ticket (y) is $8
I hope you understood my explanation,

Which value of x satisfies the equation 5(2x-9)+3=-7
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

x = 7 / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2x - 9) + 3 = -7    ---------- subtract 3 from both sides

5(2x - 9) + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3

5(2x - 9) = -10   ------ divide both side by 5

2x - 9 = -2      ---------- add 9 to both sides

2x - 9 + 9 = -2 + 9

2x = 7

x = 7 / 2

I am not sure how sigma notation works, can somebody explain how to solve this? It isn't the second choice.
Masja [62]

Answer:

first answer is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, we want to write 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 20

for n = 1, 2n = 2*1 =2

for n = 2, 2n = 2*2=4

for n = 3, 2n=2*3=6

etc

so

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{10} {2n} = 2*1 + 2*2 +2*3+2*4+...+2*10=2+4+6+8+...+20

thanks
