Answer: There were 40 adult tickets and 28 children's tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold.

Let y represent the number of children's tickets sold.

An event sold $608 worth of tickets adult tickets cost $11 while children's tickets cost $6. It means that

11x + 6y = 608 - - - - - - 1

If 68 tickets were sold, it means that

x + y = 68

Substituting x = 68 - y into equation 1, it becomes

11(68 - y) + 6y = 608

748 - 11y + 6y = 608

- 11y + 6y = 608 - 748

- 5y = 140

y = 140/5 = 28

x = 68 - y = 68 - 28

x = 40

3 Questions Math! HELP!!!
Sveta_85 [38]
1) Since the larger number is a negative, you’re going to get a negative solution for number one. An easy way to do the math is to ignore the negative sign in (-116) For a moment. And subtract 56 from it.
116 - 56 = 60. Don’t forget to place the negative sign we pushed to this side before the solution. The answer is -60.

2) We do the same thing we did in number one, but with new numbers. The answer in total is -178.

3. As stated, we do the same thing we did in number one. Just because there’s a decimal doesn’t change much. And your answer would be -1.1
