Let 2x=student tickets
Let x=adult tickets
2x+x=408
3x=408
x=136
2x=272

Number of student tickets sold:272
Number of adult tickets sold:136

In the diagram below, BC−→− bisects ∠FBE

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

<em>m∠EBC = 34° </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠DBC = m∠DBE + m∠ EBC

m∠DBC - m∠DBE = m∠EBC

(12x - 3)° - (5x + 12)° = (3x + 13)°

12x - 5x - 3 - 12 = 3x + 13

4x = 28

x = 7

<em>m∠EBC </em>= (3(7) + 13)° <em>= 34° </em>

Which shows all the values of x that make the rational expression undefined? x = 6 x = 7 x = –6 or x = 6 x = –7 or x = 7

n200080 [17]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The rational expression is given by:

$E=\frac{2x^2-72}{5x^2-245} \\ \\ Factor \ out: \\ \\ E=\frac{2(x^2-36)}{5(x^2-49)} \\ \\ E=\frac{2(x-6)(x+36)}{5(x-7)(x+7)} : \ \ \ \ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

The denominator can't be zero, therefore:

$(x-7)(x+7)\neq 0 \\ \\ \\ Thus: \\ \\ \boxed{x\neq 7 \ and x \neq -7}$

Finally,<em> the values of x that make the rational expression undefined are </em>

<em></em>

<em>x = 7 and x = -7</em>
