Step-by-step explanation:

$\tt{3x + 8 = 2x - 8}$

We want to get all the constants on the right hand side of the equation. So , Add 8 on both sides of the equation.

⤏ $\tt{3x + 8 + 8= 2x - 8 + 8}$

⤏ $\tt{3x + 16 = 2x}$

Move 2x to left hand side and change it's sign. Similarly , Move 16 to right hand side and change it's sign :

⤏ $\tt{3x - 2x = - 16}$

Since , 3x and 2x are like terms , they can be added or subtracted. Subtract 2x from 3x :

⤏ $\sf{x = - 16}$

$\red{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : \boxed{ \underline{ \tt{x = - 16}}}}}}}$

Hope I helped ! ♡

Have a wonderful day / night ! ツ

Which must be true of a quadratic function whose vertex is the same as the y-intercept ?

jeka94

A quadratic function whose vertex is the same as the y-intercept has the equation
y=x^2+k (where k is the y-intercept, with vertex (0,k))

Since the vertex coincides with the y-intercept, the axis of symmetry is x=0.

The Opera House sells an average of 1,700 tickets per night when the price of each ticket is $25. An employee of the Opera House

irakobra [83]

So here's the solution to the problem:

Calculate the average sell:

1,700 * $25 = $42,500 (revenue)

And if the Opera House wants to increase their revenue:

The price of a ticket will be:

$25 - x (where x is the number of 1-dollar decreases)

The number of tickets in total:

1,700 + 200x

Therefore the equation is:

(1,700 +200x) * ( 25 - x ) = 55,000

We can also solve this equation, but the solutions are not whole numbers.

x 1 = 5.89 and x 2 =10.6

For x = 6 (6 times 1 - dollar decreases):

( 1,700 + 200 * 6 ) * ( 25 - 6 ) = ( 1,700 + 1,200 ) * 18

=2,900 *19 = 55,100 (we will yield the revenue over $55,000)
