First we expand the brackets:
-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36
We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:
4a = 28
We can then divide to get an x by itself:
a = 28/4 = 7
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
Answer:
3 Pounds of Coffee
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how much she spent on the pounds of coffee, you would have to takeaway $65.37 away from the total of $90 which will give you $24.63, which is how much she has spent on the coffee. To find out how many pounds of coffee she bought, you would have to divide $24.63 by $8.21 giving you 3, which is how many pounds of coffee Teresa bought.
Much appreciated if this is marked as brainliest :)
16 % = 38
(16 × 6 = 96
16 / 4 = 4 so = 38/4 = 9.5)
100% = 38*5 + 9.5
=199.5
