T = 0
isolate the variable
Let a = Adult tickets, s = Student tickets; we are going to set up a system of equations.
8a + 4s = 880
a - s = 20
We are going to multiply the second equation by so that we can cancel out one of the variables and solve for the other. This gives you:
8a + 4s = 880
4a - 4s = 20
Notice the s-variables will cancel:
12a = 900
a = 75
Now we plug in the amount of adult tickets to solve for the student ones.
75 - s = 20
- s = - 55
Divide both sides by - 1
s = 55.
There were 55 student tickets sold and 75 adult tickets.
The answer is 7x so Im guessing it’s either C or B
I believe it is verbally expressed as x divided by ten.
You'll apply the geometric mean formula. The idea is to multiply the two pieces of the hypotenuse: 5*11 = 55
Then apply the square root to get sqrt(55)
The exact answer in terms of radicals or square roots is sqrt(55)
Using a calculator, the approximate answer is sqrt(55) = 7.416198
If your teacher wants you to use a proportion, then one way to do it is to have
11/y = y/5
11*5 = y*y
55 = y^2
y^2 = 55
y = sqrt(55)
y = 7.416198 approximately
