Answer: 200 adult tickets and 400 student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of student tickets that were sold.

Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. If the income from the play was $850, the expression would be

1.75x + 1.25y = 850- - - - - - - - - -1

Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. This is expressed as

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

1.75x + 1.25 × 2x = 850

1.75x + 2.5x = 850

4.25x = 850

x = 850/4.25

x = 200

y = 2x = 2 × 200

y = 400

We will use demonstration of recurrences<span>1) for n=1, 10= 5*1(1+1)=5*2=10, it is just
2) assume that the equation </span>10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10n = 5n(n + 1) is true, <span>for all positive integers n>=1
</span>3) let's show that the equation<span> is also true for n+1, n>=1
</span><span>10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10(n+1) = 5(n+1)(n + 2)
</span>let be N=n+1, N is integer because of n+1, so we have
<span>10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10N = 5N(N+1), it is true according 2)
</span>so the equation<span> is also true for n+1, 
</span>finally, 10 + 30 + 60 + ... + 10n = 5n(n + 1) is always true for all positive integers n.

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y=3/4x+2
stepladder [879]
If two lines are parallel to one another, then their slopes are identical.  The slope in the line above is 3/4.  Therefore, a line parallel to that line will also have a slope of 3/4, it will just have a different y-intercept.

the questipn is: Given segment AB with endpoint (-2,-2) and (8,4), what is the coordinate of the midpoint?​
Nataly [62]

Answer:

(3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot both of the points on a graph you get another straight line.

When you connect the dots you get 3,1 as the midpoint of the two segments :))

F(x) = 5x

for f(7) you replace x with 7 so it will be : f(7) = 5(7) = 35
