Answer:

68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where a is the number of adult tickets sold and c is the number of child tickets sold:

8a + 5c = 744

a = 2c - 12

Solve by substitution by substituting the second equation into the first one:

8(2c - 12) + 5c = 744

16c - 96 + 5c = 744

21c - 96 = 744

21c = 840

c = 40

So, 40 child tickets were sold. Plug this into the second equation to solve for a:

a = 2c - 12

a = 2(40) - 12

a = 80 - 12

a = 68

So, 68 adult tickets and 40 child tickets were sold.

Simplify 5/7r-2/7r......
Georgia [21]
\frac{5}{7r}-\frac{2}{7r}

You have two fractions with the same (common) denominator, so you subtract the numerators and put that over the common denominator.

\frac{5}{7r}-\frac{2}{7r}=\frac{5-2}{7r}=\frac{3}{7r}

Evaluate the expression: (–2)2 + (–42) + (18 – 23).
marta [7]

Answer:

-51 (no options are matching)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: (–2)2 + (–42) + (18 – 23).

we know, 2*2 = 4, and in integer multiplication if any negative integer is multiplied with positive integer, then the result will have a negative sign.

= -4 + (-42) + (18 – 23)

Here, we have open the brackets, and written the respective signs with the integers,

= - 4 - 42 - 5

now, we will perform the integer addition. Adding all the positives together & he negative numbers together

= -51

PS: It happens to be that none of the given options match with the correct answer. But, i have solved taking the expression, i hope it helps
