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.

trapecia [35]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

(g/h)(t) = g(t) / h(t)

              =( t³-5t² ) /(t+5) we cannot simplify this further so

(g/h)(t) = ( t³-5t² ) /(t+5)

Solve the equation 3x + 4 = 5x - 8​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

==> add 8 to both sides

in doing so we get 3x + 4 + 8 = 5x - 8 + 8

the -8 and the +8 cancels out and 4 + 8 = 12

we are left with 3x + 12 = 5x

==> subtract 3x from both sides

in doing so we get 3x - 3x + 12 = 5x - 3x

the 3x and -3x cancel out and 5x - 3x = 2x

we are left with 12 = 2x

==> divide both sides by 2

in doing so we get 12/2 which equals 6 and 2x/2x which leaves us with

6 = x
