You will have a system of equations.
Let's say that the number of adult tickets sold is x. The number of child ticket sold is y.
We know that they sold 400 tickets, so: x + y = 400
We also know that they earned $1475
An adult ticket is $5 and a child ticket is $2, so: x * 5 + y * 2 = 1475
Because x + y = 400, we know that y = 400 - x. We use this in the main equation instead of the variable y:
x * 5 + (400-x) * 2 = 1475
5x + 800 - 2x = 1475
3x + 800 = 1475
3x = 675
x = 225

Because x + y = 400, we can calculate that y = 175

They sold 225 adult tickets and 175 child tickets.

Find x in this 45°-45°-90° triangle.<br><br><br><br> x =
Zielflug [23.3K]
Use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

the triangle must be isosceles because the two angles are the same

1.2^2 + 1.2^2 = x^2
1.44 + 1.44 = x^2
2.88 = x^2
x=6√2/5
or
x ≈1.69706

Please help me ASAP!!
Sati [7]

The answer is D, i.e. the system was solved via elimination


If you multiply the first equation by 5, the system becomes


\left \{ {{-5x-10y=35} \atop {5x-6y=-3}} \right.


If you sum the two equations, you get


-16y = 32


And so if you substitute the second equation of system A with this new equation, you'll get system B.

What is the value of x in the equation -2/3 x +9= 4/3x -3?
HACTEHA [7]

-2/3x+9=4/3x-3 original problem add 2/3x to both sides

9=6/3x-3 simplify 6/3 to 2 and add 3 to both sides

12=2x  divide both sides by 2

x=6

hope that helps
