Imo you only need to be taught the basic of math and other things like geometry and algebra should be optional, although math is a core class along english/language arts which is why it’s necessary
So what we have to do to solve this problem is to write down those values in 2 equations (one that represents what you sold and the other what your friend sold) compare them and find how much each ticket is worth.
First equation : 11x + 8y = 158
Where x = how much each adult ticket is
and y = how much each student ticket is
The second equation is : 5x + 17y = 152
Using the method of substitution , we can compare each equation side by side:
11x + 8y = 158
5x + 17y = 152
Now we need to set one of the variables of both equations so they are equal:
11(5)x + 8(5) = 158(5)
5(11)x + 17(11)x = 152(11)
55x + 40y = 790
55x + 187y = 1672
Then we subtract the second equation by the first one
55x-55x + 187y - 40y = 1672 - 790
147y = 882
y = 6
The we apply y to one of the equations to discover x :
11x + 8y = 158
11x + 8(6) = 158
11x + 48 = 158
11x = 110
x = 10
So the awnser is :
Each adult ticket (x) is $10
And each student ticket (y) is $8
I hope you understood my explanation,
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it's a perfect square, we can simply use the formula:
Given the perfect square expression 
. Apply perfect square formula:
Knowing laws of exponent is mandatory when it comes to algebra. Recall that:
Apply laws of exponent to simplify the terms or expression:
Since there are no like-terms to do operation with (these terms have different degrees so they are not considered to be like-terms.) Therefore, the final answer is:
