Answer:

177 Students

176 Adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult - (A) $5

Student - (S) $3.50

Equation 1: A+S = 353 tickets

Equation 2: 5A + 3.50S = $1500

Sub equation 1 into 2:

5A + 3.50(353 - A) = 1500

Multiply: 5A + 1235.50 -3.50A =1500

Subtract 1235.50 and -3.50A from both sides: 1.50A = 264.50 and then divide:

264.50/1.50 = 176 Adults

Sub into equation 1:

176 +S = 353

Solve: 353 - 176 = 177 Students

Check: 5(176) + 3.50(177) = $1500

1499.5 rounded = 1500 = 1500 ✔

I hope this helped!

Find the exact value of sin2 theta given sin theta =5/13, 90°<theta <180°
Zepler [3.9K]
Now, we know that 90°< θ <180°, that simply means the angle θ is in the II quadrant, where sine is positive and cosine is negative.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}\impliedby \textit{now let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;c=hypotenuse\\&#10;a=adjacent\\&#10;b=opposite\\&#10;\end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{144}=a\implies \pm 12 =a \implies \stackrel{II~quadrant}{-12=a}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;therefore \qquad cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-12}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}&#10;\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;sin(2\theta )\implies 2sin(\theta )cos(\theta )\implies 2\left(\frac{5}{13}  \right)\left( \frac{-12}{13} \right)\implies -\cfrac{120}{169}
