Hi! Welcome to Brainly! Let's solve this word problem together below! :)

Let's write this as a system of equations.

8a+4s=880

a= s+20

Let's plug our a value into the first equation.

8(s+20)+4s=880

8s+160+4s=880

We combine like terms.

12s+160=880

We subtract 160 from both sides.

12s=720

We divide both sides by 12

s=60

Now, we plug this value into the second equation.

a= 60+20

a= 80

Therefore, 80 adult tickets were sold.

I hope this helps! Have a fabulous time here at Brainly! :)

Dennis and Connie purchased a radio for $128. Dennis paid $36 more than Connie. How much did each pay?
never [62]

Answer:

Dennis paid $82 and Connie paid $46.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation by putting in variables, c representing how much Connie paid. Since we know that Dennis paid $36 more, we will also factor that in the equation.

c + c + 36 = 128

Where c + 36 represents the amount Dennis paid, and 128 represents the total amount paid as given in the question. We can start by adding like terms. 2c + 36 = 128

Now, we can subtract 36 from each side,

2c + 36 - 36 = 128 - 36

2c = 92

Divide each side by two,

2c/2 = 92/2

c = 46

Now, to make sure this is correct, let's substitute our c for 46 in our equation:

46 + 46 + 36 = 128

92 + 36 = 128

128 = 128

Therefore, our equation is correct, and Dennis paid $82 while Connie paid $46.
