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.

How do you simplify 3(j-2k)+4 ?

masha68 [24]

Answer: 3j-6k+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to distribute the 3 to the j and the -2k since they are both in the parentheses. So it would look like (3*j) +(-2k*3)+4 and if you simplify that it is 3j-2k+4. After that there are no like terms so that is your answer.

What is the area of the triangle? 9 4 12

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

13.636

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be found using Heron's formula:

A = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

where s=(a+b+c)/2.

For the given triangle, ...

a=9, b=4, c=12, s=(9+4+12)/2 = 12.5

A = √(12.5(3.5)(8.5)(0.5)) = √185.9375 ≈ 13.636

The area of the triangle is about 13.636 square units.

Every time Martina orders Chinese food, she gets egg drop soup. So, she decides to learn how to make it herself. Her recipe call

MrRa [10]

Answer:

2 cartons

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! To start, we need to determine what we already know, Martine needs 8 cups worth of broth, but can only find 32-fluid ounce cartons.

Next, we need to find what we need to know, how many fluid ounces are in a cup? There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup!

Now, all we need to do is convert our cups to be able to find out how many cartons we need! So, to do this, we are going to multiply our number of cups by the number of fluid ounces in just 1 cup (so 8!).

8 cups x 8 fluid ounces (per 1 cup) = 64 fluid ounces

So! Martina needs 64 fluid ounces of broth to be able to create her recipe!

But, we aren't finished just yet, as we need to find how many cartons Martina needs! Like we did before, we know that there a 32 fluid ounces in 1 carton so if we have 64 fluid ounces in the recipe, all we need to do is divide 64 by 32 to find out how many cartons we need!

64 fluid ounces (8 cups worth) ÷ 32 fluid ounces (per carton) = 2 cartons

Melina needs to buy 2 cartons of broth to be able to complete her recipe.

Hope this Helps! :)
