Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
This means what value can I plug into -3x-8 so that I get output 10.
g(x)=-3x-8
g(a)=-3a-8
So we are going to solve g(a)=10 for a.
g(a)=10
-3a-8=10
Add 8 on both sides:
-3a =18
Divide both sides by -3:
a =-6
Check it!
g(-6)=-3(-6)-8=18-8=10 and it's good! :)
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use algebra.
So, what rate time 1.20 = .80
Let x = the rate (in a decimal form)
1.20x = .80
x = .6666666666
Now, we need to multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
66.66 The price is 66% of the regular price.

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.
