Answer:

60 student tickets and 40 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent student tickets and a adult tickets, then the system of equations can be written as

s - a = 20 →(1)

2s + 4a = 280 → (2)

Multiply (1) by 4 and add to (2) to eliminate a

4s - 4a = 80 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

6s = 360 ( divide both sides by 6 )

s = 60

Substitute s = 60 into (1)

60 - a = 20 ( subtract 60 from both sides )

- a = - 40 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

a = 40

Thus

60 student and 40 adult tickets were sold.

Is 3(-4y) equivalent to 6-4y
Leokris [45]

3(-4y)=6-4y

-12y=6-4y

-8y=6

y=-3/4

So the two expressions are equivalent, if and only if y = -3/4.
