For example a stands for the number of adult tickets, and s stands for the number of student tickets.

Write a system of equation based on the problem
An equation for "<span>A total of 679 tickets were sold for the school play"
</span>∴ a + s = 679 <em>(first equation)</em>
An equation for "<span>there were 71 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets"
</span>∴ s = a - 71 <em>(second equation)</em>
<span>
Find the solution of the system
Subtitute s with a - 71 in the first equation to find the value of a
a + s = 679
a + a - 71 = 679
2a - 71 = 679
2a = 679 + 71
2a = 750
  a = 750/2
  a = 375
The number of adult tickets sold is 375</span>

Can someone please help me with this question about given two points?Please help ASAP!!! :(
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

<em>The order of subtraction is not important in any of the coordinates</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Between Two Points

Given two points (x1,y2) (x2,y2), the distance between them is given by the formula

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

The difference between both coordinates is squared, then added, and finally extracted the square root.

Based on the principle that

a*a=a^2

and also

(-a)(-a)=a^2

We can notice it doesn't matter the sign of a the square of a is always positive. If we had subtracted in the opposite way, the distance would have resulted in exactly the same. In other words, the above formula is exactly the same as

d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

As seen, it applies for both coordinates
