Answer:

30 adult tickets,
50 kids tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost of adult ticket = $8.50
Cost of kids ticket = $7.00
Number of tickets = 80
Total cost = $605

Let the adult ticket be a and kids be k

We got equations

a + k = 80
8.5a + 7k = 605

From the first equation we get

k = 80 -a

Substituting k in the second equation

8.5a + 7(80 - a) = 605
8.5a - 7a + 560= 605
1.5a = 45
a = 45/1.5
a = 30

Then finding k

k = 80 - 30 = 50

Statement 1: If parallel lines have a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent. Statement 2: A line has an infinite

Nataly_w [17]

The statement 1:"If parallel lines have a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent" is theorem, because it has been proved. It is a logical consequence of axioms.
The statement 2:"A line has an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions." is postulate or also referred as axiom, because is taken to be true without proof. Is it a true statement that can not be proven.
