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.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise is important to remember that equivalent expression have the same value.

Then given the following expression provided in the exercise:

(5x)3

You can find equivalent expression by:

-  Changing the position of 3:

3(5x)     (This matches with the first option)

- Solving the multiplication indicated. Then:

(5x)3=15x      (This matches with the fourth option)

- Writting x3 inside the parentheses:

5(x3)     (This matches with the third option)

A graph is shown below:
Zanzabum
The general equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when the graph crosses the y- axis. Consequently, it is the value of y when x is zero. The slope is the rate of change of y with respect to the change in x. It is calculated from the ratio of the difference of two y values and the difference of the corresponding x values. Given the points would result to a line, we can determine those elements for the line as follows:

b = 36
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (27 - 36) / (3 -0) = -3

So, the equation of the line would be y = -3x + 36.
