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.

Someone pls help me answer this????? THE POINTS ARE (3,-4) And (3,5)
irina [24]
The circle goes thru the given points <span>(3,-4) And (3,5).  Since the x-coordinate does not change, the diameter lies right on the vertical line x=3.  Since the vertical distance between these points is 5-(-4), or 9, the radius is 9/2.

The standard eq'n of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Let's subst. what we know:  we get   (x-3)^2 + (y-1/2)^2 = (9/2)^2.  Note that y = 1/2 is halfway between y=-4 and y=5.</span>

24. Find the slope and y-intercept of the line.<br> Y=7/5x-3
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

slope = m = 7/5

y-intercept = b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

y = 7/5 x - 3

slope = m = 7/5

y-intercept = b = -3

If b is the midpoint of ac, ac=cd, ab=3x+4, ac=11x-17, and ce=49, find de
IrinaK [193]

First, we draw our line.

 

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

a                                                                                                            e

 

 

Next, break up this line into segments using the information.

 

|----------------------|----------------------|--------------------|------------------|

a                            b                            c                         d                      e

 

 

The entire line is 29.

 

ab + bc + cd + de = ae

ab + bc + cd + de = 29

 

You also know that

 

bd = bc + cd

 

 

Due to midpoint theorem,

 

ab = bc

cd = de

 

 

Then,

 

2ab + 2cd = 29

 

 

The equations we will use are

 

bd = bc + cd                       eq1

2bc + 2cd = 29                   eq2

 

 

Dividing both sides of the equation in eq2 yields

 

bc + cd = 14.5

 

bd = bc + cd

bd = 14.5
