the distance between points is:
d = 7.8 units
d = root ((x2-x1) ^ 2 + (y2-y1) ^ 2)
The ordered pairs are:
(x1, y1) = (- 3, -2)
(x2, y2) = (2,4)
By applying the formula we have:
d = root ((2 - (- 3)) ^ 2 + (4 - (- 2)) ^ 2)
d = root (61)
d = 7.8
The subtraction theorem states that for all real numbers,

and

,

.
(To subtract, we can add the inverse.)
Thus, we can have the these two equivalent expressions.
Alright, so we have tickets for 8 dollars. The number of tickets can represent x, and the money totaled is 8x. x=16+17+13=46, so we can substitute that in to get 8*46 for the total revenue=368 dollars
