Answer:  " x = 9 "  .
____________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________
To calculate the mean:
____________________________________
The mean = 

     {the sum of all the values in the number set} ÷ 

     {the number of values in the data set} ;
____________________________________
 To solve for "x" ;
____________________________________
Given that the "mean" is:  "8" ;
____________________________________
            8  =  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  /  5  ;
____________________________________ 
    ↔  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  /  5   =  8  ;
____________________________________
            →  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  = 8 * 5  ;
____________________________________
            →  { 31 + x } = 40  ;
____________________________________
            ↔   x + 31  = 40  ;
____________________________________
       Subtract "31" from EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________
            →   x + 31 − 31  =  40 − 31  ;

                       →  x = 9  .

A high school drama club is putting on their annual theater production. There is a maximum of 800 tickets for the show. The cost
astra-53 [7]
<span>a.) Let x be the number of tickets sold before the event and y the number of tickets sold on the day of the event. Then x + y =< 800 and 6x + 9y >= 5000. (b.) Suppose the club sold 440 tickets before the event, i.e. x = 440, maximum number of tickets remaining to be sold = 800 - 440 = 360. Maximum amount realized from the sales supposing all tickets were sold = 6(440) + 9(360) = 2640 + 3240 = $5880 which is greater than $5000. Therefore, it is possible for the club to sell enough additional tickets on the day of the show to meet the expenses of the show.</span>
