Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the types of tickets involved.

There are student tickets and adult tickets.

Create a table to organize the information.

Value ($)

   

Total Value ($)

 

Student

Adult

,

506

 

Step 2. Identify what you are looking for.

We are looking for the number of student and adult tickets.

Step 3. Name. Represent the number of each type of ticket using variables.

We know the number of adult tickets sold was  

5

 less than three times the number of student tickets sold.

Let  

s

 be the number of student tickets.

Then  

3

s

−

5

 is the number of adult tickets.

Multiply the number times the value to get the total value of each type of ticket.

Step 6. Check. There were  

47

 student tickets at  

$6

 each and  

136

 adult tickets at  

$9

 each. Is the total value  

$1506

?

 We find the total value of each type of ticket by multiplying the number of tickets times its value; we then add to get the total value of all the tickets sold.

Step 7. Answer the question. They sold  

47

 student tickets and  

136

 adult tickets.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line x = −5 and passes through the point (1, π).
Tanzania [10]

The line x = -5 is a vertical line, therefore the line perpendicular to this line is the horizontal line of the form y = a.

We know that it passes through the point (1, π) → x = 1, y = π.
