Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of child tickets sold.

Cost of x child tickets is x * 5.30 = 5.3x.

"three times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold"

Number of adult tickets sold: 3x

Cost of 3x adult tickets is 3x * 8.40 = 25.2x

Cost of all tickets is 5.3x + 25.2x = 30.5x

Cost of all tickets is $1189.50

30.5x = 1189.5

x = 1189.5/30.5

x = 39

Answer: 39

The product of three and a squared number is twice the sum of the number and four
Setler [38]
3x^2 = 2(x + 4)
3x^2 = 2x + 8
3x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0
(3x + 4)(x - 2) = 0

3x + 4 = 0
3x = -4
x = -4/3

x - 2 = 0
x = 2

solution is : x = -4/3 or x = 2 <==
