You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:
3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0
Hold the 3 for later re-insertion. Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.
1. Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it: 2 divided by 2 is 1
2. Square this result: 1^2 = 1
3. Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
x^2 +2x
4 Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1: x^2 + 2x + 1 -3 -1 = 0,
or x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5. Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:
(x+1)^2 - 4 = 0
We have "completed the square." We can stop here. or, we could solve for x: one way would be to factor the left side:
[(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0 The solutions would then be:
x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3. (you were not asked to do this).

Answer:
- adult: 325
- children's: 225
Step-by-step explanation:
It usually works well to let a variable represent the higher-value item in the mix. Here, we can let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then the total revenue is ...
1.50a +1.00(550 -a) = 712.50
0.50a = 162.50 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 550 and collect terms
a = 325
c = 550 -325 = 225
325 adult and 225 children's tickets were sold.
Answer:
Sample mean =119.42
Median = 92
25% trimmed mean = 102.42
10% trimmed mean = 95.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Data in increasing order :
12 13 20 23 31 35 40 43 48 49 58 62 66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141 147 159 161 168 183 207 249 262 289 323 388 513
Total no. of observations = 50
Sample mean = 
= 
= 119.42
Median: Since we have even number of observation
Median = 
= 
= 92
10% Trimmed Mean: We remove 5 values from each side
Trimmed set = 35 40 43 48 49 58 62 66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141 147 159 161 168 183 207 249
Trimmed mean = 
= 
= 102.42
25% Trimmed Mean: We remove 12 values from each side.
Trimmed set = 66 67 69 71 73 77 78 79 82 85 86 89 91 93 97 99 101 105 106 106 112 117 124 135 139 141
Trimmed mean = = 
= 95.69
