Step-by-step explanation:
a = original number of adult tickets
c = original number of child tickets
a/c = 2/5
a = 2c/5
(a+70)/(c+300) = 1/3
(2c/5 + 70)/(c + 300) = 1/3
2c/5 + 70 = (c + 300)/3
2c + 350 = 5(c + 300)/3
6c + 1050 = 5(c + 300) = 5c + 1500
c = 450
a = 2c/5 = 2×450/5 = 2×90 = 180
Joshua sold therefore in total
180 + 70 = 250 adult tickets.
and by the way
450 + 300 = 750 child tickets.

4 3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say that x is the largest number.
So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5
Now solve for x:
x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5
5x - 10 = -5
5x = 5
x = 1
So the largest number is 1.
Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3 = -2 + -3 = -5 so 1 is correct.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7=-5x-1
x-(-5x)-7=-1
x+5x-7=-1
6x-7=-1
6x=-1+7
6x=6
x=6/6
x=1
