Answer: 312 students purchased a ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of raffle tickets sold to parents.

Let y represent the number of raffle tickets sold to students.

The school sold 371 tickets. This means that

x + y = 371

x = 371 - y

The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets cost $1.50 each and the school raised a total of $822. This means that

6x + 1.5y = 822 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 371 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(371 - y) + 1.5y = 822

2226 - 6y + 1.5y = 822

- 6y + 1.5y = 822 - 2226

- 4.5y = - 1404

y = -1404/-4.5

y = 312

x = 371 - y

x = 371 - 312

x = 59

Given the function f(x)=-2x^2+4x-7, find f(-4)
jeka57 [31]
Let's begin by evaluating f(x) using the value of 3:    f(x) = 2x2 - 4x - 4 (original function)    f(3) = 2(3)2 - 4(3) - 4 (plugging in 3 for x)    f(3) = 2 (computed result) Now let's evaluate g(x) using the value of 3:    g(x) = 4x - 7 (original function)    g(x) = 4(3) - 7 (plugging in 3 for x)    g(x) = 5 (computed result) Finally, we'll sum our results:    (f + g)(3) = 2 + 3 (add f(3) and g(3))    <span>(f + g)(3) = 5 (final answer)</span>
