9514 1404 393

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.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

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.

Choose one of the factors of x^3 + 343.
Debora [2.8K]

First, note that 343=7^3. Then use the formula for the sum of perfect cubes:

a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2).

Therefore,

x^3 + 343=x^3+7^3=(x+7)(x^2-7x+49).

The quadratic trinomial x^2-7x+49 couldn't be factored anymore, so the expression x^3 + 343 has two factors x+7 and x^2-7x+49.

Answer: correct choice is A.

The Quinn family drove 228 miles in 4 hours at a constant rate. Which equation can be used to determine how far they traveled ea
anyanavicka [17]
What can be used on this is the distance over time formula, so what you,do is divide 228 by 4 to get the distance traveled in one hour. And 288/4=57. So they traveled 57 mi in one hour. Hope this helped.
