Answer:

108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult ticket $8  Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"

Student ticket $5  Call the number of student tickets sold "s"

Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284

Then we create two different equations with the information given:

a + s = 284

8 * a + 5 * s = 1948

we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a

and use it in the second equation

8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948

8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948

combining

3 a = 528

a = 528/3

a = 176

we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:

s - 284 - 176 = 108

Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold.

sleet_krkn [62]
X = larger number and y = smaller number

x + y = 153....x = 153 - y
x - 4y = 18

153 - y - 4y = 18
153 - 5y = 18
-5y = 18 - 153
-5y = -135
y = -135/-5
y = 27 <=== smaller number

x - 4y = 18
x - 4(27) = 18
x - 108 = 18
x = 18 + 108
x = 126 <== larger number

Olivia borrows $50 from her mom to buy some art supplies. Olivia spends $32.15 on art supplies and gives the change back to her
frutty [35]

Mom's view is that she loses 50 dollars, but gains back 17.85 dollars as change from her daughter.

Olivia's view is that she gained 50 dollars from her mom, spent 32.15 dollars, then gave back the 17.85 change to her mom, so she didn't gain any money.


Mom's point of view: -$50 + $17.85 and Mom's point of view: -$50 + $17.85 are the correct answers, but technically, Olivia still owes her mom 32.15 dollars.

Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square <br><br> x^2-12x+20=0
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2
