STEP 1:
determine equations needed

x= # of $10 tickets
y= # of $14 tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
x + y= 800

COST EQUATION
$10x + $14y= $9,040


STEP 2:
multiply quantity equation by -14

-14(x + y)= -14(800)
-14x - 14y= -11,200


STEP 3:
add new quantity equation in step 2 to cost equation of step 1 to solve for x using elimination

-14x - 14y= -11,200
10x + 14y= 9040
y term cancels out

-4x= -2160
divide both sides by -4

x= 540 ten dollar tickets


STEP 4:
substitute x value in step 3 into either original equation

x + y= 800
540 + y= 800
subtract 540 from both sides

y= 260 fourteen dollar tickets


ANSWER: There were 540 $10 tickets and 260 $14 tickets sold.

Hope this helps! :)

Evaluate the function f(x)=x^2+6x+2 at the given values of the independent variable and simplify.
____ [38]

Answer:

a) 18

b)x^2+10x+18

c)x^2 -6x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of plugging in the value into f(x).

a) f(-8)= -8^2 + 6(-8) +2

f(-8)= 64 + (-48) +2

f(-8)=64 + (-46)

f(-8)=18

b)  f(x+2)= (x+2)^2+6(x+2)+2

So here I'll take a break to explain what's going on, because x+2 is a binomial meaning two terms and it is being squared I have to multiply the whole thing by itself. Meaning: (x+2) x (x+2), this is also known as foiling!! and for the next part its distributing 6 into x and 2.

    f(x+2)= x^2+4x+4+6x+12+2

I'll reorder it

 f(x+2)= x^2+4x+6x+12+2+4

    f(x+2)= x^2+10x+18

c) f(-x)= -x^2+6(-x) +2

f(-x)= x^2 -6x+2

(2A)<br> Find f(2x + 4) for f(x) = 1 - x2
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

f(2x + 4) = -4x² - 16x - 15

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  6. Addition

  • Left to Right<u> </u>

Distributive Property

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Expanding (FOIL)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

f(x) = 1 - x²

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em> [Function f(x)]:                                                                          f(2x + 4) = 1 - (2x + 4)²
  2. Expand [FOIL]:                                                                                                  f(2x + 4) = 1 - (4x² + 16x + 16)
  3. (Parenthesis) Distribute negative:                                                                   f(2x + 4) = 1 - 4x² - 16x - 16
  4. Combine like terms:                                                                                          f(2x + 4) = -4x² -16x - 15
