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

Anna [14]

Answer:

-3 or decreasing by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average change, you only care about the first and last point which would be (3,17) and (8,2)

the overall change during that time is 2-17=-15 (for the f(x) side )

the overall change during that time is 8-3=5(for the x side)

all we have to do is -15/5=-3

therefore the average rate of change is -3

How do you solve (3/5)x+1/4=(3/4)x-2/5 for x?
sveta [45]

Answer:

(3/5)x+1/4=(3/4)x-2/5

<=> (3/5)x - (3/4)x= -2/5 - 1/4

<=> x(12/20 - 15/20) = -13/20

<=> x(-3/20) = -13/20

<=> x = 13/3
