Answer:

503 $1 tickets sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use two equations  

Let x = number of $1 tickets sold  

Let y = number of $1.50 tickets sold  

x + y = 739  

1x + (1.5)y = 857  

First equation ==> y = 739 - x  

Plug this into the second equation  

x + (1.5)(739 - x) = 857  

x + 1108.5 - 1.5x = 857  

- 0.5x = -251.5  

x = 503  

There were 503 $1 tickets sold.  

To find the number of $1.50 tickets, just plug this value of x into either one of the equations.  

(503) + y = 739       (739 - 503 = 236)

y = 236  

There were 236 $1.50 tickets sold.

An exam worth 145 points contains 50 questions. The number of two-point questions is equal to 50 minus the number of five-point
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Therefore there are 35 number of 2-point questions and 15 number of 5-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the number of 2 point question is x.

ii) let the number of 5 point questions be y

iii) total number of questions is 50

iv) therefore x + y = 50

v) it is also given that 2x + 5y = 145

vi) solving for the two equations found in iv) and v). Multiplying iv) by 2 we get

    2x + 2y = 100

vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v) we get 3y = 45.

viii) Therefore y = 15.

ix) using the value in viii) and substituting in iv) we get x + 15 = 50.

    Therefore x = 50 - 15  = 35

x) Therefore there are 35 number of 2-point questions and 15 number of 5-point questions.

Find f (2b^2) for (x)=x^2-4x
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x) = x^2 - 4x

And we want to find:

\displaystyle f(2b^2)

Substitute:

\displaystyle f(2b^2) =(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2)

And evaluate:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}  f(2b^2) &=(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2) \\ &=(4b^4) +(-8b^2) \\ &= 4b^4 - 8b^2 \end{aligned}

In conclusion, our answer is A.
