Answer: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adults tickets be denoted by a

Let student tickets be denoted by s

On the first day of tickets sale, there were 10 adult tickets and 11 students tickets sold for a total of $190. This will be:

10a + 11s = 190

The second day, there were a total of $160 worth of tickets, 5 adult tickets and 12 student tickets. This will be:

5a + 12s = 160

We combine both equations

10a + 11s = 190 .......... equation i

5a + 12s = 160 ........... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 10

50a + 55s = 950 ....... equation iii

50a + 120s= 1600 ........ equation iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

50a + 55s = 950

- 50a + 120s= 1600

-65s = -650

65s= 650

Divide both side by 65

s = 10

The price for the student's ticket is $10.

Amy is solving the equation using the steps shown.
Delicious77 [7]

The correct next step Amy could take is to factor (x^2 - 16) on the left side of the equation to yield (x + 4)(x – 4)(x + 2) = 0.

The equation is given as:

\mathbf{(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) = 0}

The possible next steps are:

1. Expand the equation as follows

\mathbf{x^3+2x^2-16x-32 = 0}

2. Express x^2 -16 as a difference of two squares as follows

\mathbf{(x + 4)(x- 4)(x + 2) = 0}

However, the correct step in this case is to factor x^2 - 16 as a difference of two squares to give \mathbf{(x + 4)(x- 4)(x + 2) = 0}

This is so, because the question says Amy is trying to solve for variable x.

This step will ensure that she gets the possible values of x, unlike expanding the whole equation .

Hence, the correct next step is \mathbf{(x + 4)(x- 4)(x + 2) = 0}

How can i get the answer to 5 X 70 = 5 X ____ tens = ____ tens = _____
Maru [420]
Multiple 5x70 to get 350. Which makes the equation 350=5x and then you have to divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself.  so 5x/5 and 350/5 makes x=70
