Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the points he scored in his best game. x-8 would then represent each of his last 3 games.

(x-8)*3 = 2x

3x-24=2x

x=24

The cost of a ticket to the circus is $14.00 for children and $32.00 for adults. On a certain day, attendance at the circus was

Evgesh-ka [11]

400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one child ticket = $14

Cost of one adult ticket = $32

Total attendance = 1000

Revenue generated = $24800

Let,

x be the number of children.

y be the number of adults.

According to given statement;

x+y=1000 Eqn 1

14x+32y=24800 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 14

$14(x+y=1000)\\14x+14y=14000\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(14x+32y)-(14x+14y)=24800-14000\\14x+32y-14x-14y=10800\\18y=10800\\$

Dividing both sides by 18

$\frac{18y}{18}=\frac{10800}{18}\\y=600$

Putting y=800 in Eqn 1

$x+600=1000\\x=1000-600\\x=400$

400 children and 600 adults bought tickets.

Help me with this please

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

No, she's wrong

$x\leq\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So starting from the beginning...

$3x+3\leq -2x+5$

Subtract the 3 from both side and it will look like...

$3x\leq-2x+2$

Then add 2x from both sides and it will look like...

$5x\leq 2$

Finally divide by 5 to both sides and it will look like...

$x\leq \frac{2}{5}$

Helga [31]

Answer:

P (black marble) =3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total number of marbles

4 black marbles+ 2 red marbles+ 6 white marbles= 12 marbles

We take away a black marble and throw it away

3 black marbles+ 2 red marbles+ 6 white marbles= 11 marbles

The probability of drawing a black marble is

P (black marble) = black/total

=3/11
