Since the theater earned $988 for all adult tickets costing $26 each, we know that they sold:

\dfrac{\$ \,988}{\$ 26 / \textrm{ticket}} = 38 \, \textrm{tickets}


Additionally, since the theater collected $731 for all student tickets costing $17  each, we know they sold:

\dfrac{\$ 731}{\$ 17 / \textrm{ticket}} = 43 \,\textrm{tickets}


The number of tickets sold in total is:

38 \,\textrm{tickets} + 43 \, \textrm{tickets} = \boxed{81 \,\textrm{tickets}}


Thus, it can be assumed (1 person = 1 ticket), that 81 people attended the performance.

So what you would do is divide 988 by 26 and divide 731 by 17 and those two numbers you would add which gives you the amount of people that attended the performance

What is the value of n in the equation 1 (n – 4) – 3 = 3 - (2n+3)?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

n=7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1 (n – 4) – 3 = 3 - (2n+3)

1. distribute the 1 on the left side and distribute the -1 on the right side

1n-4-3=3-2n-3

2. add like terms

1n-7=-2n

3. move n to one side and by itself

-7=-3n

4. divide -3 to get n alone. Both negatives cancel out each other

7/3=n
