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)

Which choices are real numbers? Check all that apply.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponents with fractions in them are really just radical notation in a different form. You've probably seen the square root sign.

That can be written as 

x^(1/2)

...and when you take an even root of a negative number, there is no real answer. (2 is an even number).

Looking at the answer choices here, we can see that B and D use even roots, so they will give non-real answers.

So, A and C are the answer choices to select.

Major help I would highly appreciate it:(
Elena L [17]

Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

The function's y-intercept is the value for x=0.

  h(0) = 0.5(0 +4)² +1

  = 0.5(16) +1

  = 8 +1

  h(0) = 9

The function's y-intercept is 9.

What are skew lines and parallel lines
Leni [432]

Two or more lines are parallel when they lie in the same plane and never intersect. The symbol for parallel is <span>||</span>. To mark lines parallel, draw arrows <span>(>)</span> on each parallel line. If there are more than one pair of parallel lines, use two arrows <span>(<span>>></span>)</span> for the second pair. The two lines below would be labeled <span><span><span>AB</span><span>←→</span></span> || <span><span>MN</span><span>←→−</span></span></span> or <span>l || m</span>.

For a line and a point not on the line, there is exactly one line parallel to this line through the point. There are infinitely many lines that pass through A, but only one is parallel to l.

Can you help me solve systems of equations by elimination step by step<br> 6x+y=15<br> -7x-2y=-10
Anna71 [15]

Answer:   (4, -9)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Use elimination method.  Manipulate one (or both) equations to eliminate one of the variables and solve for the remaining variable.  <em>I will be eliminating y</em>

6x +  y =  15    → 2(6x +  y =  15)   →   12x + 2y = 30

-7x - 2y = -10   → 1(-7x + 2y = -10)   →  <u> -7x - 2y = -10</u>

                                                             5x        = 20

                                                               x         =  4

Next, replace "x" with "4" into either equation and solve for y.

6(4) + y = 15

24  + y = 15

         y  = -9


<u>Check:</u>

Plug in x = 4 and y = -9 into the other equation to verify it makes a true statement.

-7x - 2y = -10

-7(4) - 2(-9) = -10

-28  -   -18  = -10

-28  +  18 = -10

       -10    =  -10  \checkmark
