Answer:

<u>James sold 300 tickets for adults</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of tickets sold by James = 450

Cost of a child ticket = $ 2

Cost of an adult ticket =$ 5

Amount of money collected by James after selling the 450 tickets for the community play = $ 1,800

2. How many tickets for adults did James sell?

x = Number of adult tickets James sold

450 - x = Number of children tickets James sold

For solving for x, we write this equation:

5x + 2 * (450 - x)  = 1,800

5x + 900 - 2x = 1,800

3x = 1,800 - 900

3x = 900

x = 900/3 = 300

450 - x = 450 - 300 = 150

<u>James sold 300 tickets for adults and 150 for children</u>

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=(3)/(4)x-5 and passes through (12,-2)?
Vika [28.1K]

A parallel line has the same slope as the original line. So in this case the slope of the line is also 3/4. Now how do we know if it intersects the point? We need to adjust the y intercept.



Currently, we know the equation of the line is y= 3/4 x + b, where b is the thing we are looking for. We also have a point, which supplies the x and y. Plug that in and solve for b

-2 = (3/4)*(12) + b

You'll get b= -11

So the equation of the parallel line intersecting the point given is y= 3/4x -11.

I am assuming that the slope is 3/4 based on the way you formatted the original equation, but it's the same steps if the slope is different.

A juice stand uses 11 cups of strawberries to make 6 pitchers of juice. What is true about the number of cups of strawberries in
Lana71 [14]
11 cups of strawberries ... 6 pitchers of juice
x cups of strawberries = ? ... 1 pitcher of juice

If you would like to know what is the number of cups of strawberries in each pitcher, you can calculate this using the following steps:

11 * 1 = 6 * x
11 = 6 * x      /6
x = 11/6
x = 1 5/6 cups of strawberries

Result: You will need 1 5/6 cups of strawberries in each pitcher.

Adam is building a rectanglar swimming pool. The perimeter of the pool must be no more then 120 feet. If the length of the pool
jasenka [17]

Answer:

W\leq 38\ ft

The maximum width must be 38\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L ----> the length of the rectangular pool

W ---> The width of the rectangular pool

we know that

P\leq 120\ ft  

P=2(L+W)

so

2(W+L)\leq 120 ----> inequality A

we have

L=22\ ft

substitute the value of L in the inequality A

2(W+22)\leq 120

simplify

(W+22)\leq 60

W\leq 60-22

W\leq 38\ ft

The maximum width must be 38\ ft

Your friend simplifies the following problem. Describe what error was made. No credit for just the correct final answer, we are
kenny6666 [7]

The error was made when he added the number in the radical expression in the computation, despite the fact that the numbers do not have the same base.

<h3>What are the radical expressions?</h3>

Any expression that contains a radical symbol is considered a radical expression. To find the square roots, cubic roots, and higher, radical symbols are used. For example, √7, √6, and √11 are in the radial form.

The expression is given in the question following:

4√5 + 7√3

11√8

The error was made in that he add the number in the radical expression in the calculation while the terms are not the same base.
