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.

X^2+ 6x - 4 = 3x + 6
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

x=2

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to get everything on one side to have a quadratic equation:

x^2+6x-4 -(3x+6) = x^2+3x-10

All factors of 10 are 1*10 and 2*5.

5-2 = 3 and 5*-2 = -10

Factoring x^2+3x-10 gives us (x-2)(x+5)

x=2

x=-5
