For a particular event, 771 tickets were sold for a total of $3037. If students paid $3 per ticket and non-students paid $5
1 answer:
Answer:
Number of student tickets were sold = 409
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of tickets sold = 771
I.e Students ticket (S) + Non students ticket(N S) = 771
Total amount to be paid for tickets = $ 3037
Amount paid by students per tickets = $3
Amount paid by non-students per tickets = $5
So, according to question
S + NS = 771
3 S + 5 NS = 3037
Solve both equations
5 S + 5 NS = 771 × 5
3 S + 5 NS = 3037
so ,
(5 S + 5 NS) - (3 S + 5 NS ) = 3855 - 3037
Or, 2 S = 818
I.e S = = 409
Hence, The number of student tickets were sold = 409 Answer

because y^3 is raised to the power of two, we will have to multiply the exponents rather than adding them.
By distributing the power of 2, we will get y^2(6).
Because now the exponents are being multiplied, we can just add them to get y^8. The other y has a power of 1, so we'll just add the power of that y as well to get y^9.
summary:
multiply exponents if they are being raised to a power.
add exponents if they are being multiplied, and only add them if they have the same base (in this case, both the bases of the exponents are y, so we can add them)
