Answer:

461 adults and 864 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 1,325 tickets were purchased, then s+a=1325.

We also know that a total of $3,169 was collected and adult tickets cost $5 each and students cost $1 each. We can write 1s+5a=3169.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We first solve the first equation for s which is s=1325-a. Substitute s=1325-a into 1s+5a=3169. Simplify and isolate the variable a.

1(1325-a)+5a=3169

1325-a+5a=3169

1325+4a=3169

1325-1325+4a=3169-1325

4a=1844

a=461

This means that 461 adults attended and 864 students attended since 864+461=1325.

4c + 4c + 16c + 90 = 360

Add the like terms

24c + 90 = 360

Subtract 90 when taking it to the other side of the equal

24c = 270

Divide 270 by 24 to get ur answer.

Find the sum and product of the roots. 3x^<br> 2 - 4x - 7 = 0
victus00 [196]
Given the quadratic function, to get the roots we factorize:
3x²-4x-7=0

3x²+3x-7x-7=0
3x(x+1)-7(x+1)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
thus the roots are
x=-1 or x=3/7
thus the sum of the roots will be:
-1+3/7
=-4/7
