Think of this as (1/5)x - 4 = -75, where x is the number that we are trying to figure out. To figure this out, we want to get x by itself, so we can go:

(1/5)x=-71
x=-71*5
x=-355

So your number is -355

A total of 259 tickets were sold to a benefit concert for a total of $5,312. Two types of tickets were sold: adult tickets were
jeyben [28]

Answer:

113

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets sold =a

Let the number of student tickets sold =s

A total of 259 tickets were sold, therefore:

a+s=259

Adult tickets were sold for $24 each and student tickets were sold for $16 each.

Total Revenue = $5,312

Therefore:

24a+16s=5,312

We solve the two derived equations simultaneously.

From the first equation

a=259-s

Substitute a=259-s into 24a+16s=5,312

24(259-s)+16s=5,312

6216-24s+16s=5,312

-8s=5,312-6216

-8s=-904

Divide both sides by -8

s=113

Therefore, 113 student tickets were sold.

What are the solutions to the equation (2x - 5) (3x - 1) = 0
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

x = 5/2 & x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations and solve

1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0

1) 2x = 5

x = 5/2

2) 3x = 1

x = 1/3

You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)

Juan's pit crew was able to get his car back onto the racetrack 0.4 seconds faster than Paul's crew. Paul's crew took 1.3 second
9966 [12]

Answer:

6.7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan= Paul-0.4

Paul=Terry+1.3

We can substitute Terry+1.3 for Paul since they are equal

juan=(Terry-0.4)+1.3

terry=5.8

juan=(5.8-0.4)+1.3

juan=6.7
