A broadway theatre has 500 seats, divided into orchestra, main, and balcony seating. Orchestra seats sell for $40, main seats fo

r $25, and balcony seats for $20. If all the seats are sold, the gross revenue to the theatre is $13,150. If all the main and balcony seats are sold, but only half the orchestra seats are sold, the gross revenue is $11,150. How many are there of each kind of seat?

Answer:

How many are there of each kind of seat?

orchestra 100, main 230, and balcony 170

Step-by-step explanation:

x = Orchestra seats

y = Main seats

z = Balcony seats

x + y + z = 500

:

If all the seats are sold, the gross revenue to the theatre is $13,150."

40x + 25y + 20z = 13150

:

"but if only half the orchestra seats are sold, the gross revenue is $11,150."

(40÷2)x) + 25y + 20z = 11150

20x + 25y + 20z = 11150

use elimination on these two equations

40x + 25y + 20z = 13150

20x + 25y + 20z = 11150

20x = 2000

x = 2000÷20

x = 100 orchestra seats

100 + y + z = 500

y + z = 500 - 100

y + z = 400

25y + 20z = 9150

20y + 20z = 8000

5y = 1150

y = 1150÷5

y = 230 Main seats

100 + 230 + z = 500

z = 500 - 330

z = 170 Balcony seats

kramer

Answer:

  3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula ...

  A = LW

Filling in the given information, we can solve for the length.

  1/4 = L·(1/12)

Multiplying by 12, we see that ...

  3 = L

The array is 3 kilometers long.

Solve using square root method
avanturin [10]
\frac{1}{2}(x+5)^2 + 9 = -15

\frac{(x+5)^2+18}{2} =  \frac{-30}{2}

Cancel out the denominators.

(x+5)² + 18 = -30

(x+5)² = -30 - 18

(x+5)² = -48

The equation is impossible, we have a negative number.

There isn't a number that squared gives a negative number (the square is always positive).

√(x+5)² = +/- √-48

x+5 = +/- √-48

IMPOSSIBLE

You can write the result in imaginary numbers

x+5=+/- 4i√3

Katie is twice as old as her sister Mara. The sum of their ages is 24. Find their ages.
Alenkasestr [34]
So k=katie's' age
m=mara's age

k is 2 times as old as m
k=2m

sum is 24
add means sum
k+m=24

so we have
k+m=24 and
k=2m
subsitute
2m+m=24
add
3m=24
divide both sides by 3
m=8
subsitute again
k=2m
k=2(8)
k=16

katie=16
mara=8

9. Given 8x+4y = 4, identify the slope and y-intercept.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

A) Slope = -2 and y-int = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to get the slope and y-intercept from an equation is to put it in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, let's subtract 8x from both sides, leaving 4y on the left side:

8x + 4y = 4 -> 4y = -8x + 4

Now, let's divide both sides by 4, so that we can have just y on the left side:

y = -2x + 1

-2 is the slope, and 1 is the y-intercept.
