The drama club is selling tickets for a play. The profit, y, is
Goshia [24]

Answer:

80 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit, y, modeled by the equation, y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200, where x is the number of tickets sold, we are to find the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even. To do that we will simply substitute y = 0 into the given the equation and calculate the value of x;

y = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

0 = x^2 – 40x – 3,200,

x^2 – 40x – 3,200 = 0

x^2 – 80x  + 40x – 3,200 = 0

x(x-80)+40(x-80) = 0

(x+40)(x-80) = 0

x = -40 and x = 80

x cannot be negative

Hence the total number of  tickets, x, that need to be sold for the drama club to break  even is 80 tickets

Simplify Which of the following is correct?
aalyn [17]

The difference between mixed numbers gives:

-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = 3¹/₃

So the correct option is the third one.

<h3 /><h3>How to get the difference between mixed numbers?</h3>

Here we want to compute the difference between two mixed numbers.

First, remember that we can rewrite those as:

-5¹/₆ = (-5 - 1/6)

-8¹/₂ = (-8 - 1/2)

Now, let's go to the difference:

-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂)

First you can see that there are two negative signs together, so it is equivalent to a positive sign:

-5¹/₆ - (-8¹/₂) = -5¹/₆  + 8¹/₂

Now we can replace the mixed numbers to get:

-5¹/₆  + 8¹/₂ = (-5 - 1/6) + (8 + 1/2) = (8 - 5) + (1/2 - 1/6) = (3 + 2/6) = 3 + 1/3

And that can be rewritten to:

3 + 1/3 = 3¹/₃

Which is completely simplified.

So we conclude that the correct option is the third one, counting from the top.
