Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets.

a +(a -73) = 427

2a = 500 . . . . . add 73

a = 250 . . . . . . divide by 2

250 adult tickets were sold.

I call this a "sum and difference problem" because we are given the total of two values and the difference between them. As you can see here, the larger of the two values is the average of the given numbers, their sum divided by 2. This is the generic solution to such a problem: the larger number is the average of the given sum and difference.

Given that g(y) = y2 - 1, find g(a - 1).<br>Give your answer in its simplest form.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

a^2 - 2a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace the y in g(y) by a - 1 and simplify.

g(a-1) = (a - 1)^2 - 1

= a^2 - 2a + 1 - 1

= a^2 - 2a.

Here are two rectangles.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$\frac{Area \:of\: rectangle\: A}{Area \:of\: rectangle\: B} =\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of rectangle A be x units.

So, length of rectangle B

= x + 25% of x

= x + 0.25x

= 1.25x

Let the width of rectangle A be y units

So, Width of rectangle B

$= \frac{3}{5}\times x\\=0.6x$

Area of rectangle A = xy

Area of rectangle B

= 1.25x * 0.6y

= 0.75xy

$\frac{Area \:of\: rectangle\: A}{Area \:of\: rectangle\: B} =\frac{xy}{0.75xy}\\\\\frac{Area \:of\: rectangle\: A}{Area \:of\: rectangle\: B} =\frac{1}{0.75}\\\\\frac{Area \:of\: rectangle\: A}{Area \:of\: rectangle\: B} =\frac{100}{75}\\\\\red{\bold{\frac{Area \:of\: rectangle\: A}{Area \:of\: rectangle\: B} =\frac{4}{3}}} \\\\$

−1/3−(−1/2)

Hi ;-)

$-\frac{1}{3}-(-\frac{1}{2})=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\\\\3\frac{1}{3}-5=-(5-3\frac{1}{3})=-(4\frac{3}{3}-3\frac{1}{3})=-1\frac{2}{3}\\\\-1\frac{4}{5}-(-2\frac{7}{8})=-1\frac{4}{5}+2\frac{7}{8}=-1\frac{32}{40}+2\frac{35}{40}=2\frac{35}{40}-1\frac{32}{40}=1\frac{3}{40}\\\\-3\frac{3}{8}-\frac{7}{8}=-(3\frac{3}{8}+\frac{7}{8})=-3\frac{10}{8}=-3\frac{5}{4}=-4\frac{1}{4}\\\\4\frac{3}{4}-(-1\frac{1}{12})=4\frac{9}{12}+1\frac{1}{12}=5\frac{10}{12}$
