Answer:
A. 3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number equal x.
Set up the first half of the equation.
The sum of three times the number and 8 more than the number can be written as:
3x + (x+8)
Sum means that you add the components.
Set up the second half of the equation.
The difference between -22 and twice the number can be written as:
-22 - 2x
Difference means subtraction, and because -22 is written first, that is the number that you subtract <em>from</em>.
If you set the halves of the equation equal, you get:
3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Therefore, the answer is A.
8 is missing for the table
Answer:
Adult tickets =125
Child tickets = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively
So that
x+y= 253--------1
Since total sales/receipt is $2,771
And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence
15x+7y= 2771-------2
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have
x+y= 253---------------1
15x+7y= 2771----------2
Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3
15x+15y=3795---------3
-{15x+7y= 2771----------2
0+8y=1024
8y= 1024
y= 1024/8
y= 128 tickets
So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1
x+ 128=253
x=253-128
x= 125 tickets
Sales tax is .30 cents because 2.39+1.59=3.98
multiply by the sales tax which would be .075 after you move the decimal. you get .2985 cents so round it up to .30 cents
