Answer: The number of $12 tickets sold is 120

Step-by-step explanation: The $12 tickets shall be represented by A while the $15 tickets shall be represented by B. That means from the information provided, A + B = 300 since a total of 300 tickets were sold in all.

Also the total sales from all tickets amounted to $4140. This too can b expressed as 12A + 15B = 4140

So we now have a pair of simultaneous equations which are

A + B = 300 --------(1)

12A + 15B = 4140 --------(2)

From equation (1), A = 300 - B

We now substitute for the value of A into equation (2)

12(300 - B) + 15B = 4140

3600 - 12B + 15B = 4140

We collect like terms and we now have

15B - 12B = 4140 - 3600

3B = 540

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

B = 180

We can now calculate for the value of A. Substitute for the value of B into equation (1)

A + 180 = 300

Subtract 180 from both sides of the equation

A = 120.

The $12 tickets were represented by A. That means the $12 tickets sold were 120 pieces.

On the right side we have st which is the same as s*t or s times t

We want to undo the multiplication that is happening to s, so we have to divide both sides by t

d = s*t

d/t = s*t/t ..... divide both sides by t

d/t = s

s = d/t

Answer: Choice A)

What conclusions can you draw from the distances that you recorded in question 7
tangare [24]

Answer:

If corresponding vertices on an image and a preimage are connected with line segments, the line segments are divided equally by the line of reflection. That is, the perpendicular distance from the line of reflection to either of the corresponding vertices is the same. Line  is a perpendicular bisector of the connecting line segments.
