The unknown number is n. So n is the unknown variable in the equation.
In order to write an equation in which n is included we must know some dependence of n with other values.
We know that <span>the difference of three times a number and 44 is −19. So, we can write:
3*n-44=-19
3*n=-19+44
3*n=25
n=25/3

John is selling tickets to an event. Attendees can either buy a general admission ticket, x,

Masteriza [31]

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each general admission = $50

Cost of each VIP ticket = $55

Total tickets sold = 29

Total revenue generated = $1505

Let,

x represent the number of general admission tickets sold

y represent the number of VIP tickets.

x+y=29 Eqn 1

50x+55y=1505 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

$50(x+y=29)\\50x+50y=1450\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(50x+55y)-(50x+50y)=1505-1450\\50x+55y-50x-50y=55\\5y=55$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

$x+11=29\\x=19-11\\x=18$

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

What is the value of x if AP and BP are tangent segments <br> AP = 10x - 15 and BP = 7x + 3

worty [1.4K]

If AP and BP are tangent segments connected outside of the circle at point "P" then <span>AP = BP so,
10x - 15 = 7x + 3</span>
3x = 18
x = 6
