y=2x-1....
I think that's the answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A=number Adult tickets;S=A+74= number Student tickets
Total tickets=adult tickets + student tickets
724=A+(A+74)
724=2A+74 Subtract 74 from each side
650=2A divide each side by 2
325=A ANSWER 1: There were 325 Adult tickets sold
If you change both to a fraction you would see that you have 1/6 and 1/4 (.25 as a fraction). So 1/5 would be in between them.
You could also change both as a decimal. 1/6 =.166666 and .25 so any number in between them would be correct such as .2 which is the same as 1/5.
1. Since it's m - 7 you would have 7 to both sides so you would in fact have m < 13. If you double check your answer, you see that if m is say 12 (because 12 is obviously less than 13), 12 - 7 < 6
2. Again, use the same process on this problem as the first one. Add 8 to each sides because it's you're subtracting 8 from n. So you end up with n > 13. Check your answer. Say n is 14. 14 - 8 > 5
3. This one is different because you are adding 5 to p. So in order to get p by itself, you need to subtract 5 from both sides. p < 5. Say p is 4, 4 + 5 < 10.
When working with problems like these, you need to isolate the variable on one side and get it by itself.
