Yes, there are many possible answers. An equation that can model your situation is:
4a+4b=75, with a being the amount of adult tickets sold, and b being the amount of children’s tickets sold.
Because both tickets cost 4 dollars, you would multiply the amount of tickets sold, by the price (in dollars) of the ticket.
So, you can find possible answers by substituting the amount of adult tickets sold. Say, 4 adults bought tickets. You could then substitute a for 4. So the equation would look like this.
4(4)+4b=75
16 + 4b = 75
4b = 75 - 16
4b = 59
Divide each side by four
B = 14.75

The reason you got a decimal number is because 75 cannot be divided by 4 evenly. So, in this context, you could say that 15 children bought tickets. One child had an issue, and Lisa gave them a 25% discount. This would explain why there are only 75 dollars worth in tickets. I hope I helped, this is my first question I have ever answered so I’m not entirely sure if this was helpful or not. Hope you figure this out!

The vertices of a triangle are A(2,5), B(1, 2), and C(3, 1). Find the coordinates of the image after a dilation with respect
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The coordinates of the image after a dilation with respect to the origin is A'' (2,10), B" (0,4), C" (4,2) .

<h3>How does dilation work?</h3>

Dilation of a figure will leave its sides get scaled (multiplied) by same number. That number is called the scale factor of that dilation.

Its also called scaling of a figure, but due to the involvement of coordinates, it involves a center of a dilation, which is like a pinned point that stays at the same place after dilation.

Its like we enlarge or shorten the size of the figure (or keep it same, when scale factor = 1).

The vertices of a triangle are A(2,5), B(1, 2), and C(3, 1).

A' = 2(2.5) = (4,10)

B' = 2(1,2) = (2,4)

C' = 2(3,1) = (6,2)

Translation of 2 units left means change in x

A'' = (4-2,10) = (2,10)

B" = (2-2,4) = (0,4)

C" = (6-2,2) = (4,2)

Translation of 1 units up means change in y
