the local theater is showing a matinee and offering a special deal for the community. A ticket for an adult costs $11 and a tick
Montano1993 [528]
We will call an adult ticket <em>a</em>, and a child ticket <em>c</em>.

Since they sold 60 tickets in total, we can form the equation:
a + c = 60

We can also say that the sum of money from the adult tickets and child tickets combined is 460.
Thus we can say
11a + 6c = 460

Now, we must solve our system.

a + c = 60
11a + 6c = 460

6a + 6c = 360
11a + 6c = 460

-5a = -100
a = 20

Thus, (20) + c = 60
c = 40

a = 20 and c = 40

-2|x-4|+7=-3 how do i solve this absolute value problem
ira [324]
Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9
