Total tickets sold  = 800
Total revenue = $3775

Ticket costs:
$3  per child,
$8  per adult,
$5 per senior citizen.

Of those who bought tickets, let
x =  number of children 
y = number of adults
z = senior citizens

Therefore
x + y + z = 800                   (1)
3x + 8y + 5z = 3775           (2)

Twice as many children's tickets were sold as adults. Therefore
x = 2y                                (3)

Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
2y + y + z = 800, or
3y + z = 800, or
z = 800 - 3y                        (4)
3(2y) + 8y + 5z = 3775, or
14y + 5z = 3775                 (5)

Substtute (4) nto (5).
14y + 5(800 - 3y) = 3775
-y = -225
y = 225
From (4), obtain
z = 800 - 3y = 125
From (3), obtain
x = 2y = 450

Answer:
The number of tickets sold was:
450 children,
225  adults,
125 senior citizens.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

a = - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

- \frac{2}{3} a - 6 = 12 ( add 6 to both sides )

- \frac{2}{3} a = 18 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 2a = 54 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

a = - 27

Which statement about the function is true?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The function is negative for all real values of x where -6< x < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 6)

The graph of the function is as shown in the attached figure.

As shown, we can deduce the following:

The function is positive for all real values of x where x > -2 and x < -6

The function is zero at x = -2 and x = -6

The function is negative for all real values of x where -6 < x <-2

Compare the observations to the given statements:

So, The true statement is The function is negative for all real values of x where -6 < x <-2
