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

The number 2 in the expression 5 + 2x is called the
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x is simply a number. The x gives it it's meaning. So if the coefficient of x changed from 2 to 6 that would mean there would 6 x's being added to five, not 2.

For example if x=2.

instead of 5 + 2*2

(which equals 9)

it would be 5 + 6*2

(which equals 17).

The difference between the answers is 4x, as there are an additional 4x's.

Hope this helps :)

Find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of
JulijaS [17]
A. z = 0.74
  The z-score of 0.74 translates to a percentile of 0.77035. Hence, the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z-score 0.74 is ~0.77.

b. z = -2.16
   This z-score translates to a percentile of 0.015386 which is also the numerical value of the area under the curve to the left of the z-score

c. z = 1.02
   The percentile equivalent of the z-score above is 0.846. The area is also 0.846.

d. z = -0.15
   The percentile equivalent and the area is equal to 0.44.
