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.

Find the measure of the exterior angle.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1) 128°

2) 126°

3) 108°

<h2>Question one:</h2>

   The square in the corner means 90°. If you add the interior angles of any triangle together, you get 180. in this case, x is in exterior angle, so you subtract it from 180 to get the interior angle.  

38 + 90 + (180-x) = 180

38 + 90 + 180 - x = 180

38 + 90 + 180 - 180 - x = 0

38 + 90 + 180 - 180 = x

128 = x

<h2>Question two:</h2><h2></h2>

again, adding all the interior angles makes 180°. use this to make the equation.

3x + (5x-6) + 90 = 180

3x + 5x - 6 = 90

8x = 96

x = 12.

   x isn't the answer the question wants, however. if you look at the drawing, the angle that's supplementary to 5x-6 is the exterior angle. so,

180 - (5x-6) = the answer

180 - 5x + 6 = the answer

substitute x for 12

180 - 60 + 6 = the answer

126 = x

<h2>Question three</h2>

again, adding all the interior angles together makes 180°.

(a + 10) + 44 + (180-2a) = 180

a + 10 + 44 + 180 - 2a = 180

-a + 234 = 180

234 - 180 = a

54 = a

however, the question is looking for the exterior angle, not a. in this case, the exterior angle is 2a, so just multiply 54 by 2.

x = 108
