To solve for X you need to simplify both sides on the equation
<span><span><span>23</span><span>(<span><span>4x</span>−5</span>)</span></span>=8

</span><span><span><span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>4x</span>)</span></span>+<span><span>(<span>23</span>)</span><span>(<span>−5</span>)</span></span></span>=8 *</span>Distribute*

<span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>=<span>8

after that you add 10/3 on both sides

</span></span><span><span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>+<span><span>−10/</span>3</span></span>+10/3</span>=<span>8+10/3</span></span><span><span><span>8/3</span>x</span>=<span>34/<span>3

finally multiply 3/8 on both sides
</span></span></span><span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span><span>8/3</span>x</span>)</span></span>=<span><span>(<span>3/8</span>) x </span><span>(<span>34/3</span><span>)

and your answer should be
X= 17/4
</span></span></span>

I think the answer is B). because if the angle is changed if it turned on a fixed point. its changed if it translated or if the rays are changed, neither is it changed if it translated to the right either.

The cost of a ticket to the circus is $14.00 for children and $32.00 for adults. On a certain day, attendance at the circus was

Evgesh-ka [11]

400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one child ticket = $14

Cost of one adult ticket = $32

Total attendance = 1000

Revenue generated = $24800

Let,

x be the number of children.

y be the number of adults.

According to given statement;

x+y=1000 Eqn 1

14x+32y=24800 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 14

$14(x+y=1000)\\14x+14y=14000\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(14x+32y)-(14x+14y)=24800-14000\\14x+32y-14x-14y=10800\\18y=10800\\$

Dividing both sides by 18

$\frac{18y}{18}=\frac{10800}{18}\\y=600$

Putting y=800 in Eqn 1

$x+600=1000\\x=1000-600\\x=400$

400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.
