Basically, when you input something, you replace "x" in the equation with the number you want to input. For example, if I had the equation: 5x/6+5, then I wanted to input "5", then 5 would replace x in the equation, making 5(5)/6+5. The output they are giving you is simply evaluating the equation that you used to input x, so basically in the case I gave you, the output would be 5(5)/6+5, or 25/6+5, and 55/6. Using the outputs, they want you to find the inputs.

A concert hall has three sections: the main floor, the balcony, and the gallery. For a recent concert, 1020 tickets were sold. T

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Let the number of balcony seats be b

Let the number of gallery tickets be g

Let the number of main floor tickets be m

b + g + m = 1020

b = 2g

m = b + 225

The number of balcony tickets = 318

The number of gallery tickets = 159

The number of main floor tickets = 543

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of balcony seats be b

Let the number of gallery tickets be g

Let the number of main floor tickets be m

i) Therefore we can write b + g + m = 1020

ii) there were twice as many balcony tickets sold as gallery tickets

therefore b = 2g $\Rightarrow$ g = 0.5b

iii) there were 225 more main floor tickets than balcony tickets

therefore m = b + 225

iv) using equation ii) and equation iii) in equation i) we can write

b + g + m = b + 0.5b + b + 225 = 1020 $\Rightarrow$ 2.5b = 795 $\Rightarrow$ b = 318

v) g = 0.5 b = 0.5 $\times$ 318 = 159

vi) m = b + 225 = 318 + 225 = 543
