Answer: 400 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.

1000 tickets were sold to the seaport aquariums dolphin show. This means that

x + y = 1000

Adult tickets cost $10. Children tickets cost two dollars and a total of 5200 was collected. This means that

10x + 2y = 5200 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 1000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

10(1000 - y) + 2y = 5200

10000 - 10y + 2y = 5200

- 10y + 2y = 5200 - 10000

- 8y = - 4800

y = - 4800/ - 8

y = 600

x = 1000 - y = 1000 - 600

x = 400

Which equation is the inverse of y=7x^2 - 10
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Depends on domain of x, could be

-√(y+10)/7; √(y+10)/7 or no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to solve it for x:

y=7x^2-10

7x^2=y+10

x^2=(y+10)/7

In order for this equation to have an inverse, you need to check the domain of x. There needs to be only one solution for x^2=(y+10)/7 - either positive or negative, depending on the domain.
