There were 450 people at a play. The admission price was $2 for adults and $1 for children. The admission receipts were $680. Ho

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Adults= 110

Children= 340

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let adults be x

and children be y

x+y= 450----------1

2x+y=680---------2

from 1

x= 450-y

put this in 2

2(450-y)=680

900-2y=680

900-680=2y

220=2y

y= 220/2

y= 110

x+110= 450

x= 450-110

x=340

If f(x)=4x-2 and g(x)=-8x+7, find h(x)=f(x) - g(x)

user100 [1]

Answer:

$h(x)=12x-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two functions:

$f(x)=4x-2\text{ and } g(x)=-8x+7$

And we want to find:

$h(x)=f(x)-g(x)$

So, by substitution:

$h(x)=(4x-2)-(-8x+7)$

Simplify. Distribute:

$h(x)=(4x-2)+(8x-7)$

Rearrange:

$h(x)=(4x+8x)+(-2-7)$

Combine like terms. Hence:

$h(x)=12x-9$
