Answer:

30 student tickets and 10 Adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the number of adult tickets and Y is the number of student tickets

X + Y = 40

5Y + 9X = 240

Get y on one side of each equation

5Y = 240 - 9X

Y = 40 - X

substitute y for 40 - x

5( 40 - x) = 240 - 9x

solve for x

200 - 5X = 240 - 9X

4x = 40

x = 10

now you plug x in the first equation and then solve for y

10 + Y = 40

Y = 30

A bag contains 6 red marbles, 3 blue, and 1 yellow marble. What is the probability of drawing a red marble and then a blue marbl
Arte-miy333 [17]
At the start, you have 10 marbles in total and 6 red marbles. The probability of the first event is 6/10.

Since you do not place the marble back in, you now have 9 marbles in total and 3 blue marbles. This probability of the second event is 3/9.

To find the probability of both events occurring, we multiply the two probabilities together. (6•3)/(10•9)=18/90=1/5

Thus, there is a 20% chance of drawing a red marble then a blue marble without placing the red marble back in the bag.
