hased in advance and a total of 550 tickets were purchased and the total cost of the tickets was $7,500.

We have two formulas:
Adult tickets plus Student tickets = 550 tickets   or   A + S = 550
   and
Adult tickets times $20 plus Student ticket times $10 = $7500  or
(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500

First let's get rid of one of the variables by re-balancing the simplest formula
A+S = 550
A+S-A = 550-A
S = 550-A

Now we can restate the second formula replacing "S"  with it's equivalent "550-A"

(A * 20) + (S * 10)  = 7500
(A * 20) + ((550-A) *10) = 7500
Then do the multiplication
20A + 5500 - 10A = 7500
and simplifiy
20A + 5500 - 5500 - 10A = 7500 - 5500
20A - 10A = 2000
10A = 2000
A =  200   
S =  550 - 200 = 350

Now we should test the answers to be sure our work
 is correct:
  200 Adult tickets times $20 = $4000
  350 Student tickets times $10 = $3500
  $4000 + $3500 = 7500

Beverley has quarters and dimes in her pocket. She has 21 coins with a total value of $3.00. How many of each type of coin does
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If all 21 coins were dimes, she'd have $2.10. But she has 90 more cents than that. Now for each coin that's a quarter, not a dime, she has 15 cents more. 90/15= 6. So there are 6 quarters, and 21-6 = 15 dimes.

Now we do it backwards to see if it's right. 6 quarters is $1.50, 15 dimes is $1.50, add those together and you get $3. So it's right. 6 quarters, 15 dimes.

In parallelogram ABCD , BE=7x−2 and ED=x2−10 .
Stells [14]

I'm assuming that the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, BE=ED.

  • 7x-2=x²-10
  • x²-7x-8=0
  • (x-8)(x+1)=0
  • x = -1, 8

As distance must be positive, we reject the negative case, so x=8.

Thus, BE=ED=54.

Which points are the verticles of the ellipse? Equations of ellipse
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

This question is solved in detail below. Please refer to the attachment for better understanding of an Ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, there is a spelling mistake. This is vertices not verticles.

So, I have attached a diagram of an ellipse in which it is clearly mentioned where are the vertices of an ellipse.

Vertices of an Ellipse: There are two axes in any ellipse, one is called major axis and other is called minor axis. Where, minor is the shorter axis and major axis is the longer one. The places or points where major axis and minor axis ends are called the vertices of an ellipse. Please refer to the attachment for further clarification.

Equations of an ellipse in its standard form:

\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} }  + \frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1

This is the case when major axis the longer one is on the x-axis centered at an origin.

\frac{x^{2} }{b^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{a^{2} }  = 1

This is the case when major axis the longer one is on the y-axis centered at an origin.

where major axis length = 2a

and minor axis length = 2b
