Answer:

  • 197 adult tickets
  • 199 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 396-a s the number of student tickets sold. Total revenue is ...

  4a +3(396 -a) = 1385

  a + 1188 = 1385 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  a = 197 . . . . . . . . . subtract 1188. This is the number of adult tickets.

  395-a = 199 . . . . . student ticket sold

Jim sold 197 adult tickets and 199 student tickets.

Answer:

199 student tickets and 197 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to make 2 equations, one for total entries and one for total money

the x and y represent the number of students and adults

x = student        y = adults

x + y = 396

x * $3 + y * $4 = $1386

now let's clear the x of one of the equations

x + y = 396

x = (396 - y)

and replace x with what is the same in the other equation

x * $3 + y * $4 = $1386

(396 - y) * $3 + y * $4 = $1386

we solve to find y

(396 - y) * 3 + y * 4 = 1386

1188 - 3y + 4y = 1386

-3y + 4y = 1385 - 1188

y = 197

to know x we ​​replace y with the value it gave us in the first equation

x = (396 - y)

x = (396 - 197)

x = 199

so we have to

x = 199

y = 197

Solve for x in the following trapezoid. Assume QP is a mid segment.
labwork [276]

X = 2

Using the trapezoid mid segment theorem, knowing that the mid segment is parallel to the bases and half as long as the sum of the lengths of the bases, we add the lengths of the two bases and set it equal to two times the length of the mid segment.


7x+3+ 15= 16(2)

7x+18= 32

Subtract 18 from both sides.

7x = 14

Divide both sides by 7.


X = 2.


You can check your work by solving for the length of the base 7x + 3.

7(2)+3 =17

Then, add the length of the two bases together.

15 + 17 = 32. Half of 32 equals sixteen, which is your mid segment.


(correct me if i’m wrong, i got the theorem off of the internet and did the rest of the work myself.)
