To find the answer, set up a system of equations.

Let x=adult tickets and y=senior citizen tickets.

x+y=556
22x+12y=8492

Change the first equation to make it easy to combine with the second equation.

y=556-x

Now substitute (556-x) for y in the second equation.

22x+12(556-x)=8492

Simplify and combine like terms.

22x+6672-12x=8492
10x=1820
x=182

182 adult tickets were sold, so to solve for the number of senior citizen tickets sold, subtract 182 from 556.

556-182=374

374 senior citizen tickets were sold.

Y-axis, because what i’ve been taught with coordinates, is you crawl before you walk which means is first it’s x-axis then y-axis. so (0,4) would be on the y-axis. :)

1. How much greater is -20x^2+5x+17 than -19x^2+20x+18
ehidna [41]

Answer:

1. -x²-15x-1

2. -33x⁷+10x⁶-14x⁵+4x⁴+11x²-5x+32

Step-by-step explanation:

-20x^2+5x+17 - (-19x^2+20x+18)

-20x² + 19x² + 5x - 20x + 17 - 18

-x² - 15x - 1

-20x^7+10x^6-5x+15 - (13x^7+14x^5-4x^4-11x^2-17)

-20x⁷ - 13x⁷ + 10x⁶ - 14x⁵ + 4x⁴ + 11x² - 5x + 15 + 17

-33x⁷ + 10x⁶ - 14x⁵ + 4x⁴ + 11x² - 5x + 32

The ratio of Tv commercial mins to scheduled show time mins is 6 to 24 how many mins of commercial time will be seen during a 2
vodomira [7]
Well first set up the first ratio as 6/24. That is commercial mins over show time mins. Then to keep the units the same convert 2 hours into minutes which would be 120 minutes. Then set up your next ratio as x/120 since you’re trying to find the commercial minutes. Then cross multiply so that it’s 24x=720 and then x=30 and that’s the amount of commercial minutes for 2 hours.
