At a carnival, food tickets cost $2 each and ride tickets cost $3 each. A total of $1,240 was collected at the carnival. The num

ber of food tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of ride tickets sold.
The system of equations represents x, the number of food tickets sold, and y, the number of ride tickets sold.

2x + 3y = 1240

x = 2y – 10

How many of each type of ticket were sold?

in the equation as we can say x= 2y-10.

so, substitute x=2y-10 everywhere then the x in 1240 gets cancelled with 2y-10 then solve the remaining you will get 4y-20+3y=1240

7y=1260

y=1260/7

y=180

then substitute the value of y everywhere

2x+3y=1240

2x+3(180)=1240

2x=1240-540

2x=700

x=350

DONE.

Which is greater 1/3 or 3/8
morpeh [17]
1/3 and 3/8
First, you would need to find the lowest common multiple.
It would be 24.
Change both fractions to fractions with a denominator of 24
1/3*8=8/24
3/8*3=9/24
You can see that 9 is greater that 8. Therefore 3/8 is greater.

Please give me the answer and show me how you solved it
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Option 1: -8c^8

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply the numbers by the numbers, then the variables times the variables.

-2 times 4 gives us -8

c^3 times c^5 = c ^8. When multiplying a variable with exponents, you add the exponents.

You only multiply the exponents when it's something like (c^3)^5
