There was 3000 general admission tickets sold and 500 kid ticket sold.

How did I get this?

First, we need to see what information we have.
$2.50 = General admission tickets = (G)
 $0.50 = kids tickets =  (K)
There were 6x as many general admission tickets sold as kids. G = 6K

We need two equations:
G = 6K  
$2.50G + $.50K = $7750
Since, G = 6K we can substitute that into the 2nd equation.

2.50(6K) + .50K = 7750
Distribute 2.50 into the parenthesis

15K + .50K = 7750
combine like terms

15.50K = 7750
Divide both sides by 15.50, the left side will cancel out.

K = 7750/15.50
K = 500 tickets
So, 500 kid tickets were sold.

Plug K into our first equation (G = 6k)

G = 6*500
G = 3000 tickets

So, 3000 general admission tickets were sold,

Let's check this:

$2.50(3000 tickets) = $7500 (cost of general admission tickets)
$.50(500 tickets) = $250 (cost of general admission tickets)
$7500 + $250 = $7750 (total cost of tickets)

The difference of a number and 6 is the same as 5 times the sum of the number and 2. What is the number?
S_A_V [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets consider the unknown number as x

according to the question,

6-x= 5(x+2)

6-x= 5x+10

-x-5x=10-6

-6x=4

x=4/-6= 2/-3

x= -2/3

Solve and type in a different form by using the given theorems of logarithms
scoray [572]

\log\left(\frac{10}{y}\right) = \log(10) - \log(y)

The general rule is

\log\left(\frac{A}{B}\right) = \log(A) - \log(B)

Other log rules are

\log(AB) = \log(A) + \log(B)

B\log(A) = \log(A^B)

The length of a photograph is 3cm less than twice the width. The area is 54cm². Find the dimentions of the photograph.
AnnyKZ [126]
L=2w-3 

w(2w-3)=54

2w²- 3w-54=0

A= 2 , B= -3, C= -54

sub values into quadratic formula
 i attached picture of formula

Final answer:  you will be given 2 answers 6 and -4.5. -4.5 is rejected since a negative value cannot represent length because that just doesn't make sense.

w=6

Check:
L=2w-3
=2(6)-3
=12-3
=9
  9*6=54

Therefore the dimensions of the photograph are 6 cm by 9 cm
