It’s a binomial cause there’s two terms
Answer:
23 child tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information given, we can set up an equation to solve for the number of child tickets sold. Since there were three times as many adult tickets as child tickets sold, we can assign the variable 'x' to represent the number of child tickets and '3x' to represent the number of adult tickets. Since we know the cost of each ticket, as well as the total sales, we can set up the following equation:
5.20x + 9.70(3x) = 788.90
Simplify 5.20x + 29.1x = 788.90
Combine like terms: 34.3x = 788.90
Divide both sides by 34.3: x = 23 child tickets
The possible values for | x-y | > 0 is any number above 0. x must be greater than y. When | x-y | = 0, That means that x and y are equal to each other. | x-y | can not be less than 0, but it can equal 0.
Hope that this helped!
- What is the solution to the inequality -3x-42>3 ?
Add 42 to both sides.
Add 3 and 42 to get 45.
Divide both sides by -3. As -3 is <0, the inequality direction has changed.
Divide 45 by -3 to get -15.
