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! :)

Algebra 2 <br> 50 POINTS <br> HELP
xenn [34]

Answer:

{-3, 2}U{2, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation to be negative, it would need to be in a negative range (below the x-axis or the coordinates are negative y-values). Therefore, we can examine this question and see that the graph is negative when the function crosses the x-axis at -3 and it remains negative until you reach 2 on the x-axis.

Therefore, the first set of negative values is (-3, 2).

Secondly, applying the same logic as before, the function decreases at 2 and then touches the x-axis again at 5. Therefore, the second negative value would be (2, 5).

The negative values are {-3, 2}U{2, 5}.

Which of the following is the inverse of the statement "If I like math, then I like science"? A. If I do not like science, then
ohaa [14]
Original Conditional: If P, then Q

Inverse: If not P, then not Q

Using that template, the inverse would be "If I do not like math, then I do not like science" (simply insert those two "not" words keeping the order the same)

so the answer is choice C

Answer:

x=−3 and y=7

Step-by-step explanation Solve: 7x+2y=−7for x:

Its colder than -2 outside as an inequality
DaniilM [7]
Brr! That's cold!

If it's colder than -2 degrees outside, then doesn't that mean it's less than -2 degrees? What is the less than sign? <!

We're going to use "O" to stand for outside. If O is < -2 degrees, wouldn't your inequality be O<-2? ;) There's your answer!
