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.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

3 more than a number then divided the result by 8
ziro4ka [17]

We are given statement : 3 more than a number then divided the result by 8.

We need to write an algebraic expression for it.

Let us assume unknown number be n.

3 more than n = (n+3).

Now, we need to divide that result (n+3) by 8.

So, we would get (n+3) divided by 8 = \frac{n+3}{8}.

<h3>Therefore, final expression is \frac{n+3}{8}.</h3>
