Tickets to a play cost $5 at the door and $4 in advance. The theater club wants to raise at least $400 from the play. Write and

graph an inequality for the number of tickets the theater club needs to sell. If the club sells 40 tickets in advance, how many tickets do they need to sell at the door to reach their goal?
Please help and show how to do this work. Thank you!

Your equation should be
$4(40 tickets) + $5(X) = $400
160 +5x = 400
-160            -160
   0     5x =  340
  divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 340/5
x = 68

so they need to sell 68 tickets at the door.

4(40) + 5(68) = 400
160 + 340  + 400
400 + 400

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let us notice that the questioner had put the words "at least" in their problem; so this would be an inequality problem.

Let us say x represents the number of tickets sold at the door and y is the number of tickets sold in advance.

If this is so, your problem should be;

5x+4(40)≥400

1. Distribution; 5x+160≥400

2. Subtract 160 from both sides; 5x+160-160≥400-160

3. you are left with; 5x≥240

4. divide 5 from both sides; 5x/5≥240/5

5. you are left with; x ≥ 48

Meaning; they need to sell 48 or more tickets at the door to reach their goal of $400.

20 years ago, father's age was 5 times his son's age. Now his age is 10 years more than twice his son's present age. Find their
Montano1993 [528]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = father's age now

y = son's age now

x = 2y + 10

x - 20 = 5(y - 20) = 5y - 100

using the first in the second equation :

2y + 10 - 20 = 5y - 100

-10 = 3y - 100

90 = 3y

y = 30

x = 2y + 10 = 2×30 + 10 = 60 + 10 = 70

the father is now 70 years old, the son now 30 years old.

Tell whether the given value is a solution of the inequality
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Yes it is, because...

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an inequality, so you can treat it as an algebraic expression.

The first step is to multiple both sides by 2, to get rid of the 2 on the left side.
Your equation will now look like this:
y >= 2y - 22

The next step is to get all the y variables to one side, now that its a lot more simplified. Subtract 2y from both sides to get:
-y >= -22

Finally, cancel out the negative on both sides of the equation to get the y as a positive y, all by itself. This will get you:
y <= 22

REMINDER: when you divide by a negative number, such as in this case dividing by -1 on both sides, the inequality sign will flip!

y = 18 works because it is less than 22. (:
