Answer: 312 students purchased a ticket
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of raffle tickets sold to parents.
Let y represent the number of raffle tickets sold to students.
The school sold 371 tickets. This means that
x + y = 371
x = 371 - y
The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets cost $1.50 each and the school raised a total of $822. This means that
6x + 1.5y = 822 - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 371 - y into equation 1, it becomes
6(371 - y) + 1.5y = 822
2226 - 6y + 1.5y = 822
- 6y + 1.5y = 822 - 2226
- 4.5y = - 1404
y = -1404/-4.5
y = 312
x = 371 - y
x = 371 - 312
x = 59
You can find an equivalent expression for this by combining like terms.
The terms are 88, 16x, and 8.
The like terms are 88 and 8.
To combine them, add them together.
88 + 8 = 96
The equivalent expression would be 16x + 96.
This means 16x + 96 is the same as <span>88 + 16x + 8.
Since they are equivalent, that means they are equal, or the same.
So no matter what x is, they will both be equal to the same thing, so their solutions will be the same.
Answers:
Equivalent Expression: 16x + 96
Yes, both expressions will have the same solutions if x = 4.
