First, x+y=60 and solve for x

x= 60-y

Then set up the equation 11x+6y=460

Since, x=60-y, you plug in for y

11(60-y)+6y=460

660-11y+6y=460

660-5y=460

660-660-5y=460-660

-5y=-200

Divide both sides by 5 (you can drop the negative because they are both negative)

5y/5 = 200/5

y=40

Then take y & plug it back into the original equation of:

x+y = 60 (solve for x)

x+40=60

x+40-40=60-40

x=20

The answer is 20 adult tickets (x) and 40 child tickets (y) were sold.

it would be the graph on the right.

 Since the equation ends with +2 the line would be 2 above the x axis

Consider the function y=x^2+5x-2 . What would happen to the graph if (x -1) was substituted in place of the x?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x - c) shift the function <em>c</em> units to the right.

In this case, if (x - 1) was substituted in place of the x, the graph would shift 1 unit to the right.

If you want to graph the new function and know the graph of the previous one, this relationship avoids you the substitution of (x - 1) into the function and expansion of the expression to obtain a new quadratic formula.
