Let the number of adult tickets sold equal a.
Let the number of student tickets sold equal s.

The cost of the adult tickets sold is 6a.
The cost of the student tickets sold is 3s.
The total sales was $660, so we have our first equation:
6a + 3s = 660

25 more student tickets than adult tickets were sold.
That gives us our second equation
s = a + 25

We have a system of equations.

6a + 3s = 660
s = a + 25

Since the second equation is already solved for s, we can use the substitution method. Replace s of the first equation with a + 25 and solve for a.

6a + 3(a + 25) = 660

6a + 3a + 75 = 660

9a = 585

a = 65

65 adult tickets were sold.
Now we find the number of student tickets sold.

s = a + 25 = 65 + 25 = 90

Answer: The number of student tickets sold was 90.

How would you describe a meter in English units?
dalvyx [7]
The answer is letter A. A meter has nearly the same value to a yard, one yard approximately amounting to 1.09361 meter. The rest of the other measures are far from meter's value in distance.

kap26 [50]
<em>If this guy doesn't use the letter m, then the first and second characters of the password could be any of the 25 remaining letters.  So, the number of possible combinations of 2 letters is 25 times 25, or 625.  

If he doesn't use the digit 0, how many digits are left to choose from?

The first 2 characters of the password will be letters; after that there come four digits.  How many different combinations of 4 digits are there if 0 is not used?

To obtain the final result, mult. together that 625 and the number of possible combinations of digits just found above.</em>

Factor completely, then place the factors in the proper location on the grid.<br> x^2n + 10x^n + 16
postnew [5]

Answer:

(x^n + 2)(x^n + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial x^{2n}+10x^n + 16 can be factored exactly the same as the polynomial x^2 + 10x + 16. Here it factors into two numbers which multiply to 16 but add to 8. These factors are 8 and 2. So it factors into the expression (x+8)(x+2).

For the polynomial x^{2n}+10x^n + 16 it factors into the same factors except x ^n is used instead. The factors are (x^n + 2)(x^n + 8)
