Answer:

Ali-13

Ben-26

Joe-34

Step-by-step explanation:

Ali-x

Ben-2x

Joe-2x+8

x+2x+2x+8=73

3x+2x+8=73

5x+8=73

5x=73-8

5x=65

x=65/5

=13

Ali sells 13 tickets

Ben sells 13×2

=26 tickets

Joe sells (13×2)+8

=34 tickets

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

n = 3, n=-\frac92; t=9, t=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Second one is faster, so let's get rid of it first.

Divide by 2 to make numbers easier, and we get

t^2-81 = 0. You should recognize 81 is 9 squared, and both -9 and +9, when squared, give 81, we have our solution.

Now the first. I can't spot any quick trick to solve it, so quadratic formula it is. Let's rememer it: if

ax^2 +bx+c=0 then

x={{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}\over 2a

Let's bring the first equation in the standard form and calculate the quantity over the square root (usually called with the greek letter delta, \Delta) to the side.

2n^2+3n-27 =0\\\Delta = (3)^2 -4(2)(-27) = 9+(8)(3)(9) = 9(1+24)= 9 \cdot25 =(3\cdot5)^2

now we can apply the formula:

n={{-3\pm15}\over4} Let's split the two cases now

n= \frac{-3+15}4 = \frac{12}4=3\\n= \frac{-3-15}4 = \frac{-18}4 =-\frac92

13. A smoothie shop has 40 stores, and 55% of the stores are in
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

You could answer this two ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Set up proportion

x/40=55/100

Cross-multiply and you will get..

2200=100x

x=22

Method 2: Use decimals

As we saw in the first method, 55 percent is equal to 55/100. 55/100 is equal to 0.55.

You can multiply 0.55 and 40 to get the answer as well.

0.55 times 40 is 22.

Hope this explanation helped! ☺️

Combine Like Terms:

=8n+−7y+−12n+5+−3y

=(8n+−12n)+(−7y+−3y)+(5)

=−4n+−10y+5
