Answer:
<em>1300 children attended the basketball game</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
System of Equations
Let's call:
x = number of children attending the basketball game
y = number of adults attending the basketball game
On a certain night, 1500 people enter the game, thus:
x + y = 1500 [1]
Since each admission fee for children cost $3.50 and $7.50 for adults and it was collected $6050, thus:
3.50x + 7.50y = 6050 [2]
From [1]:
y = 1500 - x
Substituting in [2]:
3.50x + 7.50(1500 - x) = 6050
Operating:
3.50x + 11250 - 7.50 = 6050
-4x = 6050 - 11250
Solving:
x = 1300
1300 children attended the basketball game

Answer: - (2 + 3) = -5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
When combining numbers that have the same sign, you add them and then include the sign.
For example:
-2 - 3 = -(2 + 3) = -5
-6 - 5 = -(6 + 5) = -11
-7 - 8 = -(7 + 8) = -15
