Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Write equations the represent the problem.

let a be the number of adult tickets sold

let t be the number of student tickets sold

a + t = 447    The sum of student and adult tickets is total number of tickets.

a - 53 = t      There were fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets.

Use substitution, where you replace one variable with an equation.

Replace t for a-53 in a + t = 447. Then isolate the "a" variable.

a + t = 447

a + (a - 53) = 447

a + a - 53 = 447      <= remove the brackets

2a - 53 = 447      <=collect like terms (numbers with the same variable)

2a = 500       <= divide both sides by 2

a = 250    <= number of adult tickets sold

Therefore 250 adult tickets were sold.

If you wanted to find student tickets too:

Since we know a=250, replace a with 250 in a + t = 447

a + t = 447

250 + t = 447

t = 447 - 250

t = 197    <=number of student tickets sold

Check your answer by making sure the equations are true:

t + a = 447

197 + 250 = 447

447 = 447

LS = RS

Is student tickets 53 less than adult tickets?

a - 53 = t

250 - 53 = 197

197 = 197

LS = RS

If Marissa bakes 30 cookies every 15 minutes, how many cookies can Marissa make in 42 minutes?​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

84 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the amount she bakes per minute. It is given that Marissa bakes 30 cookies every 15 minutes, or:

30 cookies/15 minutes = 2 cookies/minute.

Marissa bakes 2 cookies per minute. Multiply 2 with 42 minutes to find the total cookies baked in 42 minutes:

42 x 2 = 84

84 cookies is your answer.

Which of the following equations has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2,3)?
ryzh [129]

Option C (Same as Option D)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Option C and D are the same, so I'll assume you made a mistake when writing this question. However, let's figure out which of the following equations has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2,3):

A. y = -2x + 6

B. y - 3 = -2(x + 2)

C. y = -2x + 7

<em />

<em>All these equations have a slope of -2.</em>

FROM OPTION A:

Recall \ our \ point \ is \ (2,3), \ so: \\ \\ x=2 \\ \\ y=3 \\ \\ Substituting \ into \ the \ equation: \\ \\ 3=-2(2)+6 \\ \\ 3=-4+6 \\ \\ 3=2 \ False!

Since 3\neq 2 then the line doesn't pass through the point (2, 3)

FROM OPTION B:

Recall \ our \ point \ is \ (2,3), \ so: \\ \\ x=2 \\ \\ y=3 \\ \\ Substituting \ into \ the \ equation: \\ \\ 3-3=-2((2)+2) \\ \\ 0=-2(4) \\ \\ 0=-8 \ False!

Since 0\neq -8 then the line doesn't pass through the point (2, 3)

FROM OPTION C:

Recall \ our \ point \ is \ (2,3), \ so: \\ \\ x=2 \\ \\ y=3 \\ \\ Substituting \ into \ the \ equation: \\ \\ 3=-2(2)+7 \\ \\ 3=-4+7 \\ \\ 3=3 \ True!

Since 3\neq 3 then the line passes through the point (2, 3)

<em>Finally, the equation that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2,3) is Option C (Same as Option D)</em>

A bus is travelling with 52 passengers. When it arrives at a stop, y passengers get off and 4 get on. At the next stop one-third
MissTica

52-y+4
(2/3) (52-y+4)+3=25 ;; (1/3) get off, so (2/3) left
(2/3)(52-y+4) =22
52-y+4=33
-y=-23
y=23

A rectangle has a length x centimeters and a width that is equal to half its length. The perimeter of the rectangle is 50 centim
dusya [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length

Then width = (1/2)x

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width) = 54

                  length + width = 27

So, x + (1/2)x = 27

           (3/2)x = 27

                 x = 27(2/3) = 18     (1/2)x = 9

Answer:  length = 18 cm and width = 9 cm
