4 adult tickets were sold and 8 student tickets were sold.
How did I get this? 

First, let's see what information is given:
12 tickets sold
(S)tudent ticket = $9
(A)dult ticket = $12
Total cost = $120

So, we know student tickets plus adult tickets total up to $12. We can create an equation out of this: S + A = 12

And we know $9S + $12A = $120 

The variables represent the amount of tickets sold, which is unknown. 
A = 12 - S , substitute this into the second equation.

9s + 12(12-s) = 120
Distribute the 12 into the parenthesis.

9s + 144 - 12s = 120
Combine like terms

-3s + 144 = 120
Subtract both sides by 144, left side cancels out.

-3s = -24
s = -24/-3
s = 8 

So, 8 student tickets were sold. Plug the value of s into our first equation.

A = 12 - 8 
A = 4 (adult tickets)

How do we calculate the area of this quadrilateral using the coordinates of the four vertices? The answer is simple. We divide the quadrilateral in two triangles (using either of the diagonals), calculate the (positive value of) the areas of each triangle, and add these values to obtain the total area.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Zach time of reading every weekend forms a sequence with these terms: 10, 20, 40, 80. On the other hand, that of Victoria forms a sequence with terms: 35, 50, 65, 80. By keenly observing the sequences, Zach's sequence is a geometric sequence with a common ratio equal to 2 and Victoria's sequence is an arithmetic or linear sequence with a common difference of 15. Thus, the answer is letter B.
