We can factor this by AC method. In AC method we multiply the term a and c and then write the middle term b in such a way that the sum/difference is equal to the product 'ac'
Using the method, we can write sinx as 2sinx -sinx
Now, we group the first two terms and the last two terms
Now, we take GCF from each group
Factor out (sinx+2)
Therefore, the factored form is (sin x +2)(sin x-1)
Lets say the number of adult tickets is x. This means the number of student tickets is 2x. So, 2x + x = 285, or 3x =285. The means x = 95. So the number of adult tickets sold is 95.
This question requires a comparison between two different variables 6% and 16% values. If we let x=$ loaned on 6% loans and y=$ loaned on 16% loans, then we can relate two equations.
0.06x + 0.16y = $1500 --> referencing the interest earned from each percentage loaned.
x + y = $16000 --> referencing the total amount of money loaned out.
Rearrange either equation and substitute for a value in the other equation or use elimination to determine each individual variable.
