Answer: 400 adult tickets and 325 children's tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

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

725 tickets were sold for the game. It means that

x + y = 725

If adult tickets sold for $2.500 and children's tickets sold for $1.50 and the total amount for which the tickets were sold $1,487.50, it means that

2.5x + 1.5y = 1487.50- - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 725 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(725 - y) + 1.5y = 1487.50

1812.5 - 2.5y + 1.5y = 1487.50

- 2.5y + 1.5y = 1487.50 - 1812.5

- y = - 325

y = 325

x = 725 - y = 725 - 325

x = 400

Answer:

  • 400 adult tickets
  • 325 children's tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 725-x is the number of children's tickets sold, and the total revenue is ...

  2.50x +1.50(725 -x) = 1487.50

  1.00x + 1087.50 = 1487.50 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x = 400 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1087.50

There were 400 adult tickets and 325 children's tickets sold.

Use the figure below to find the value of y and each angle shown.
igomit [66]

5y - 16 + 3y + 20 = 180 degrees

Combine like terms on the left side

8y + 4 = 180

Subtract 4 from both sides.

8y = 176

Divide both sides by 8

y = 22

Plug 22 into y for each angle.

3y + 20 = 3(22) + 20 = 66 + 20 = 86 degrees

5y - 16 = 5(22) - 16 = 110 - 16 = 94

The angle opposite 5y - 16 also equals 94 because they are vertical angles.

The angle opposite of 3y + 20 also equals 86 because they are vertical angles

How does the graph of y = sec(x + 3) – 7 compare with the graph of y = sec(x)?
Alla [95]

Answer:

The function y = sec(x) shifted 3 units left and 7 units down .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function: y = sec(x)

  • If k is any positive real number, then the graph of f(x) - k is  the graph of y = f(x) shifted downward k units.
  • If p is a positive real  number, then the  graph of f(x+p) is  the graph of y=f(x)  shifted to the left  p units.

The function y = \sec(x+3)-7 comes from the base function y= sec(x).  

Since 3 is added added on the inside, this  is a horizontal shift Left 3 unit, and since 7 is subtracted on the outside, this is a vertical shift  down 7 units.

Therefore, the transformation on the given function is shifted  3 units left and 7 units down
