Answer:

p = \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a perfect square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - x, that is

x² + 2(- \frac{1}{2} )x + \frac{1}{4} with p = \frac{1}{4} , thus

x² - x = (x - \frac{1}{2} )² + \frac{1}4}

University Theater sold 465 tickets for a play. Tickets cost $23 per adult and $13 per senior citizen. If total receipts were $7
liq [111]

<u>Answer:</u>

355 senior citizen tickets were sold.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Assuming a to the the ticket of adults and s to be the ticket of senior citizens, we can write two equations as:

a +s=465 --- (1)

23a+13s=7145 --- (2)

From equation 1, a=465-s.

Substitute a in equation 2 to get:

23 (465-s) + 13s = 7145

10695 - 23s +13s =7145

-10s = -3550

s = 355

Therefore, there were 355 senior citizen tickets sold.
