Answer : The number of adult tickets sold was, 164 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the number of adult tickets be, x

So, the number of student tickets will be, (480-x)

Total cost of tickets = $2892

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $8

Cost of 1 student ticket = $5

Thus, the equation will be:

8x+5(480-x)=2892

By solving the term, we get the value of 'x'.

8x+2400-5x=2892

8x-5x=2892-2400

3x=492

x=164

Number of adult tickets = x = 164

Number of students tickets = (480-x) = (480-164) = 316

Thus, the number of adult tickets sold was, 164 tickets.

A + s = 480......s = 480 - a
8a + 5s = 2892

8a + 5(480 - a) = 2892
8a + 2400 - 5a = 2892
8a - 5a = 2892 - 2400
3a = 492
a = 492/3
a = 164 <=== there were 164 adult tickets sold

Find the value of x<br> 12<br> 5<br> X
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the side length x is opposite of the right angle, which means that it is the hypotenuse, which will usually be denoted as c.

Set the equation:

a² + b² = c²

let:

a = 5

b = 12

c = x

Plug in the corresponding numbers (& x) to the corresponding variables:

(5)² + (12)² = (x)²

Simplify. First, solve for the power, and then add:

x² = (5²) + (12²)

x² = (5 * 5) + (12 * 12)

x² = 25 + 144

x² =  169

Next, root both sides of the equation:

√x² = √169

x = √169 = √(13 * 13) = 13

x = 13

~

Note the rules, and it should be easier:

30-60-90° = 1 , √3 , 2

45-45-90° = 1 , 1 , √2

Any other measurements use the equation:  a² + b² = c²
