Answer:

x = 1/3(500 + 5y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

x child tickets for $3

y adult tickets for $5

3x + 5y = 500

To solve for x

3x = 500 + 5y

Divide through by 3

3x /3 = 500/3 + 5y/3

x = 1/3(500) + 1/3(5y)

x = 1/3(500 + 5y)

2.)

If the total number of tickets sold was made available, then a more direct solution would have been obtainable as we can have two different equations;

One for the total number of ticket sales and the other of the total revenue from ticket sales.

Using addition rules, show how to add the two real numbers. 7 + (-14)
Debora [2.8K]
Hello there! Using the rules of addition, we can identify that when adding a positive to a negative number, the result shifts toward the positive side but takes the sign of the greater number. It will be demonstrated in this problem to simplify how problems like this are solved:

Step 1: Rewrite the problem

-14 + 7 = ?

Step 2: Since we’re adding 7 to a negative number, that means the negative number decreases by the quantity it’s being added by.

This means we would have to really subtract 7 from 14 to get 7.

Step 3: Keep the sign of the greater number

Since 14 is greater than 7, we will keep the negative sign in accordance.

Step 4: Simplify

-14 + 7 = -7

Using the rules of addition, we will find that -14 + 7 = -7. If you need additional help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

If a change dispenser contains 32 coins consisting of

<h3>Answer:  19 dimes</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

d = number of dimes

q = 32-d = number of quarters

$5.15 = 515 cents

10d+25q = 515

10d+25(32-d) = 515

10d+800-25d = 515

-15d+800 = 515

-15d = 515-800

-15d = -285

d = -285/(-15)

d = 19

There are 19 dimes. You can stop here if you want.

q = 32-d = 32-19 = 13

There are 13 quarters

-------------------------------

Check:

1 dime = 10 cents

19 dimes = 19*10 = 190 cents

1 quarter = 25 cents

13 quarters = 13*25 = 325 cents

total value = 190 cents + 325 cents = 515 cents = $5.15

The answer is confirmed.
