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.

Find the equation of the circle: y-intercepts 4 and –8, contain (–12, –8)
laila [671]

Answer:

  (x +6)^2 +(y +2)^2 = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are vertices of a right triangle. The circle circumscribing that triangle (through all 3 vertices) will have its center at the midpoint of the hypotenuse:

  ((0, 4) +(-12, -8))/2 = (-6, -2)

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) through point (a, b) is ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = (a -h)^2 +(b -k)^2

For center (-6, -2) and point (0, 4), the equation is ...

  (x +6)^2 +(y +2)^2 = (0+6)^2 +(4 +2)^2

  (x +6)^2 +(y +2)^2 = 72
