Answer:

adult tickets = 17, children tickets = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of children and y the number of adults

Then given that 26 tickets are sold, we can write

x + y = 26 → (1)

Given that ticket cost was $194 we can write

5.5x + 8.5y = 194 → (2)

Rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x by subtracting x from both sides

y = 26 - x → (3)

Substitute y = 26 - x into (2)

5.5x + 8.5(26 - x) = 194 ← distribute and simplify left side

5.5x + 221 - 8.5x = 194

- 3x + 221 = 194 ( subtract 221 from both sides )

- 3x = - 27 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = 9

Substitute x = 9 into (3) for corresponding value of y

y = 26 - 9 = 17

Hence number of adult tickets sold = 17

number of children tickets sold = 9

Prove that if b is a square matrix then b+b^t is symmetric
WARRIOR [948]
A matrix \mathbf X is symmetric if \mathbf X=\mathbf X^\top. We have

(\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+(\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+\mathbf B=\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top

and so \mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top is indeed symmetric.

Sever21 [200]
Well it depends on the type of crayon box that she buys. For instance, some crayon boxes have a 24 pack box of crayons while others have 64 or maybe even a 16 pack box of crayons. So it all depends on what kind of box she bought.
