X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations: 
x+y=118                 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696

we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42

x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76

Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.

The sum of a number and 6% of itself is 42.4. find the number
kvasek [131]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of number = 6/100 × x = 6x/100 = 3x/50

Sum of the number and 6% of itself = 42.4

x + (3x/50) = 42.4

(50x+3x)/50 = 42.4

53x = 42.4 × 50

53x = 2120

x = 2120/53

x = 40

[50 pts] An even number, n, times the next consecutive number, n + 2, is equal to 168. Find the original number.
ale4655 [162]

<u>We are given:</u>

An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168

<u>Solving for n:</u>

From the given statement, we can say that:

n(n+2) = 168                      [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]

n² + 2n = 168

n² + 2n - 168 = 0               [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]

We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term

n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0

n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0      <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]

(n-12)(n+14) = 0

Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)

Checking the result in both the cases:

(n + 14) = 0/(n-12)                     (n-12) = 0/(n+14)

n + 14 = 0                                 n - 12 = 0

n = -14                                      n = 12

Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
