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.

3x^2-4x+1, match the following

il63 [147K]

Answer:

x = variable

3 = coefficient

1 = constant

3x^2-4x+1 = algebraic expression

2 = degree

Step-by-step explanation:

variables are typically the letters in equations (usually x and y)

coefficients are the numbers attached to the variables

constants don't have any variables attached

algebraic expressions are the full expression

degrees are the small numbers in the top right corners on either constants, variables or coefficients

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point (6,8)

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the point-slope formula is :

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) the point is A(x_1 , y_1 ) , m : the slope

in this exercice : x_1 = 6 y_1 = 8 m = -2

so : y - 8 = -2(x - 6) ...an equation for this line .

The length of a rectangle is 1 less than twice the width. Write the equation that could represent the area of the rectangle in t

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(W2-1)xW

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning of the equation represents the length as the question states it is one less than twice the width. Because you need to multiply width and length to get area, you place the length equation and parentheses and multiply the answer to the equation by the width :) Hope this helps!
