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.

Help with line equations?
Alecsey [184]
First question

line:~~~~y=x+3

curve:~~~~x^2+y^2=29

now we have to replace the y of curve by the y of line, therefore

x^2+(x+3)^2=29

x^2+x^2+6x+9=29

2x^2+6x+9-29=0

2x^2+6x-20=0

we can multiply each member by \frac{1}{2}

\boxed{\boxed{x^2+3x-10=0}}

Now we have to find the roots of this funtion

x^2+3x-10=0

Sum and produc or Bhaskara

Then we find two axis

\boxed{x_1=2~~and~~x_2=-5}

now we replace this values to find the Y, we can replace in curve or line equation, I'll prefer to replace it in line equation.

y=x+3

y_1=x_1+3

y_1=2+3

\boxed{y_1=5}

y_2=x_2+3

y_2=-5+3

\boxed{y_2=-2}

Therefore

\boxed{\boxed{P_1(2,5)~~and~~P_2(-5,-2)}}
_______________________________________________________________

The second question give to us

y=ax+b

P_1(2,13)

P_2(-1,-11)

We just have to replace the value then we'll get a linear system.

point 1

13=2a+b

point 2

-11=-a+b

then our linear system will be

\begin{Bmatrix}2a+b&=&13\\-a+b&=&-11\end{matrix}

I'll multiply the second line by -1 and I'll add to first one

\begin{Bmatrix}2a+(a)+b+(-b)&=&13+(-11)\\-a+b&=&-11\end{matrix}

\begin{Bmatrix}3a&=&24\\-a+b&=&-11\end{matrix}

\begin{Bmatrix}a&=&8\\-a+b&=&-11\end{matrix}

therefore we can replace the value of a, at second line

\begin{Bmatrix}a&=&8\\-8+b&=&-11\end{matrix}

\begin{Bmatrix}a&=&8\\b&=&-11+8\end{matrix}

\boxed{\boxed{\begin{Bmatrix}a&=&8\\b&=&-3\end{matrix}}}

then our function will be

\boxed{\boxed{y=8x-3}}

_________________________________________________________________

The third one, we have

line:~~~~y=3x-4

curve:~~~~y=x^2-2x-4

This resolution will be the same of our first question.

Let's replace the y of curve by the y of line

3x-4=x^2-2x-4

0=x^2-2x-4-3x+4

therefore

\boxed{\boxed{x^2-5x=0}} 

now we have to find the roots of this function.

x^2-5x=0

put x in evidence

x*(x-5)=0

\boxed{x_1=0~~and~~x_2=5}

then

y=3x-4

y_1=3x_1-4

y_1=3*0-4

\boxed{y_1=-4}

y_2=3x_2-4

y_2=3*5-4

y_2=15-4

\boxed{y_2=11}

our points will be

\boxed{\boxed{P_1(0,-4)~~and~~P_2(5,11)}}

I hope you enjoy it ;)

The equation of a line is 4x−3y=−24 .
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is when y =0, you are looking for a point (x, 0)

So you replace y = 0 in the equation

4x - 3y = - 24

4x - 3(0) = - 24

4x = - 24

x = - 6
