We know:
397 total
53 fewer student tickets than adult tickets

Variables: A for adult tickets, S for student tickets

Known Equations:
a + s = 397
a = s + 53

Solving:
2s + 53 = 397 so 2s = 344 so s = 172

s + a = 397
172 + (172 + 53) = 397 so 172 + 225 = 397

Adult tickets sold: 225
Student tickets sold: 172

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Progression: 11, 18, 25

Rule: Add 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

List of numbers: 8, 11, 13, 18, 25, 37

Sample Progression: 8, 13, 18; with common difference of 5

Required

Form a different progression using any three listed numbers

To solve this; we'll make use of trial and error methods;

<em>NB: I've tried several numbers; So, I'll just stick to the one that works</em>

To start with;

Select ->11

Add 7 to 11: 11 + 7 - > 18

Add 7 to 18: 18 + 7 -> 25

With the above illustration, we've successfully used three numbers (11, 18 and 25) to form a new progression and the rule is to add 7

If 5(3x-7)=20, then what is 6x-8 ?
Colt1911 [192]
First solve for x in the first equation. So you'll have to substitute,
5(3x-7)=20
15x-35=20
Then add 35 to both sides.
15x=55
Divide 55 by 15.
So x = 3.66...
Then plug in 3.7 for x in 6x-8
6(3.7)-8
Its approximately 14.2
