Answer:  103 adult tickets

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Adult tickets (a) = a

Student tickets (s) = 2a

Total = 309

a + 2a = 309

     3a = 309

      a = 103

Answer:

<h2>103</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total tickets sold = 309

Let the number of adult tickets sold be x

Let the number of student tickets sold be 2x

Adult tickets + student tickets = 309

x + 2x = 309

Collect like terms

3x = 309

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

\frac{3x}{3}  =  \frac{309}{3}

Calculate

x = 103

Hence, 103 adult tickets were sold.

Hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment...

8.35 &lt; 3x +18.75<br> Pls help
zzz [600]

Step-by-step explanation:

8.35 < 3x + 18.75

3x + 18.75 > 8.35

3x > 8.35 - 18.75

3x > -10.4

x > -3.47

Prove the following by induction. In each case, n is apositive integer.<br> 2^n ≤ 2^n+1 - 2^n-1 -1.
frutty [35]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are asked to prove by the method of mathematical induction that:

2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1

where n is a positive integer.

  • Let us take n=1

then we have:

2^1\leq 2^{1+1}-2^{1-1}-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2^2-2^{0}-1\\\\i.e.\\2\leq 4-1-1\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 4-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2\leq 2

Hence, the result is true for n=1.

  • Let us assume that the result is true for n=k

i.e.

2^k\leq 2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1

  • Now, we have to prove the result for n=k+1

i.e.

<u>To prove:</u>  2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1

Let us take n=k+1

Hence, we have:

2^{k+1}=2^k\cdot 2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2\cdot (2^{k+1}-2^{k-1}-1)

( Since, the result was true for n=k )

Hence, we have:

2^{k+1}\leq 2^{k+1}\cdot 2-2^{k-1}\cdot 2-2\cdot 1\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{k-1+1}-2\\\\i.e.\\\\2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-2

Also, we know that:

-2

(

Since, for n=k+1 being a positive integer we have:

2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}>0  )

Hence, we have finally,

2^{k+1}\leq 2^{(k+1)+1}-2^{(k+1)-1}-1

Hence, the result holds true for n=k+1

Hence, we may infer that the result is true for all n belonging to positive integer.

i.e.

2^n\leq 2^{n+1}-2^{n-1}-1  where n is a positive integer.
