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

The graph shows the altitude of a helicopter over time. A graph measuring altitude and time. A line runs through coordinates (0,
TiliK225 [7]

We can calculate for the slope of the line using the formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

 

From the given values:

m = (4,000 – 10,000) ft / (15 – 0) min

m = -400 ft/min

This means that the altitude is decreasing by 400 ft per minute.

 

 

> The slope is –400 . This means that the helicopter descends 400 ft each minute.

A plane leaves town A for town B.at 0540hours.If the journey takes 6.5hours at what time does the plane reach its destination?
Oliga [24]

The plane reaches its destination at 12h10 minutes if the plane leaves town A for town B.at 0540hours

<h3>What is the time zone?</h3>

For legal, commercial, and social purposes, a time zone is a region that observes a uniform standard time. Instead of strictly following longitude, time zones tend to follow the borders between countries and their subdivisions.

We have:

A plane leaves town A for town B.at 0540hours.If the journey takes 6.5hours

05h40min

Total time takes = 6 hours and 30 minutes

= 5 hours + 40 minutes + 6 hours + 30 minutes

= 11 hours + 70 minutes

= 12 hours 10 minutes

or

= 12h10 minutes

Thus, the plane reaches its destination at 12h10 minutes if the plane leaves town A for town B.at 0540hours
