Answer:

351 adults and 275 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 626 tickets were purchased, then s+a=626.

We also know that 74 fewer student tickets then adult tickets. So s+76=a, the number of student tickets plus 76 will be the number of adult tickets.

We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We substitute a=76+s into s+a=626. Simplify and isolate the variable a.

s+a=626

s+76+s=626

2s+76=626

2s+76-76=626-76

2s=550

s=275

This means that 275 students attended and 351 adults attended since 275+351=626.

Solving quadratic equations is one of the main topics of this unit. Some quadratic equations can be solved with only one method,
Mariana [72]

Hi there!

Many things we do in everyday life have a variety of ways we can go about accomplishing them, but we most often choose the most practical and efficient method.

Efficiency saves time and prevents over-complication, which may lead to errors.

We might need to identify the specifics of the task and its circumstances to be able to determine the most efficient method to do it.

Solving a quadratic equation, we also must think about the most efficient method that can lead us to the correct answer. And doing so, we must identify the circumstances of the equation; Can it be solved by factoring? Is it easy to factor? What form is this quadratic equation in?

For example, let's say we're given the equation (x-1)(x+2)=0. This is an equation in factored form. In these kinds of scenarios, we can <em>easily</em> solve by setting each term equal to 0 (the Zero Product Property). This is the <em>most efficient </em>method:

x-1=0 --> x=1

x+2=0 --> x=-2

I hope this helps!
