John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of each general admission = $50

Cost of each VIP ticket = $55

Total tickets sold = 29

Total revenue generated = $1505

Let,

x represent the number of general admission tickets sold

y represent the number of VIP tickets.

x+y=29 Eqn 1

50x+55y=1505 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

$50(x+y=29)\\50x+50y=1450\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(50x+55y)-(50x+50y)=1505-1450\\50x+55y-50x-50y=55\\5y=55$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

$x+11=29\\x=19-11\\x=18$

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Find the value of x or y so that the line through the points has the given slope (x, -7) and (3, 3); slope:1

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The answer is x = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to start by using the slope formula with all of the information that we have.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

1 = (3 - -7)/(3 - x)

1 = 10/(3 - x)

Now we can use cross multiplication to solve for x.

1(3 -x) = 1(10)

3 - x = 10

-x = 7

x = -7

What is cosA ?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer, as a simplified fraction, in the box.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

From the mnemoic SOH CAH TOA, we know that ...

... Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

In this triangle, that means ...

... cos(A) = AC/AB

We are given the value of AC, but we need to find the value of AB. We can do that using the Pythagorean theorem:

... AB² + AC² +BC²

... AB² = 15² +36² = 1521 = 39²

... AB = 39

Then ...

... cos(A) = 15/39 = (5·3)/(13·3)

... cos(A) = 5/13
