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! :)

Let A (101, 202, 303, 404, 505) and B (101, 404). What is A n B?
Zepler [3.9K]
You should use curly braces instead of parenthesis to indicate set notation. The answer is {101, 404} as these two values are in both set A and set B at the same time. The upside down U symbol means "intersection" which is where the two sets overlap. In terms of a Venn Diagram, you'll have two overlapping circles. In the overlapping region is where 101 and 404 are written. In the region of circle A that is outside of B, you'll have 202, 303, and 505. There is nothing to write in the region of B that is outside of A (since all of B is inside A)

Once again, the answer is {101, 404}

I need help please?!!!!!
Ket [755]

Answer:

b)11

since 11^2 is 11*11 = 12

and when you take the square root of 121

we get 11

(in b- √11^2) , it cancels out the square

square root cancels square since they perform opposite functions
