There are no equations to choose from but it should look like the following.

a= # of adult tickets
s= # of student tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
a + s= 560

COST EQUATION
$8a + $3s= $2905

***If you have to also solve for the number of adults and students, here are the steps.

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -8

-8(a + s)= -8(560)
-8a - 8s= -4480

STEP 2:
add cost equation and step 1 equation

$8a + $3s= $2905
-8a - 8s= -4480
a term cancels out to zero
-5s= -1575
divide both sides by -5
s= 315 students

STEP 3:
substitute s=315 in quantity equation
a + s= 560
a + 315= 560
subtract 315 from both sides
a= 245 adults

ANSWER:
Quantity Equation
a + s= 560

Cost Equation
$8a + $3s= $2905

Hope this helps! :)

D/13>-3

You have to multiply 13 in both sides to eliminate the Denominator 13 on the left leaving variable D only.
(D/13)(13) > -3(13)

D > -39

so... D. D > -39

Molly earns a rebate each month on her movie tickets and books. She earns $0.25 for each movie ticket and $2 for each book. Last
Sliva [168]

The algebraic equation is 4(0.25)+2x=17

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

1+2x=17  or  2x+1

STEP 2: Subtract both sides

2x = 16

STEP 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8

Molly purchased 8 books last month

Write the set of points from −6−6 to 33 but excluding −2−2 and 33 as a union of intervals:
Softa [21]

In this question, we have to write the set of points from -6 to 3 but excluding -2 and 3 as a union of intervals .

For union, we use U.

For the points that we have to exclude , we put parenthesis on there side  that is  ().

Therefore the required interval form is

[-6,-2)U(-2,3)

As we see that () are used with -2 and 3 . And that's the required interval form .
