Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The cost of an individual ticket is $25

The cost of a couple's ticket is $40

The total sale is $2500

total ticket sold is 70

Suppose there are x individuals and y couples

\therefore x+y=70\quad \ldots(i)\\\\25x+40y=2500\quad \ldots(ii)\\\text{Solving }(i)\ \text{and}\ (ii)\ \text{we get}

x=20,y=50

So, they sold 20 tickets of the individual.

What two numbers can add to 4 but multiple to -12
olasank [31]

Answer:

<em>Numbers: 6 and -2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

This question can be solved by inspection. It's just a matter of factoring 12 into two factors that sum 4. Both numbers must be of different signs and they are 6 and -2. Their sum is indeed 6-2=4 and their product is 6*(-2)=-12.

However, we'll solve it by the use of equations. Let's call x and y to the numbers. They must comply:

x+y=4\qquad\qquad [1]

x.y=-12\qquad\qquad [2]

Solving [1] for y:

y=4-x

Substituting in [2]

x(4-x)=-12

Operating:

4x-x^2=-12

Rearranging:

x^2-4x-12=0

Solving with the quadratic formula:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

With a=1, b=-4, c=-12:

\displaystyle x=\frac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(-12)}}{2(1)}

\displaystyle x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+48}}{2}

\displaystyle x=\frac{4\pm 8}{2}

The solutions are:

\displaystyle x=\frac{4+ 8}{2}=6

\displaystyle x=\frac{4- 8}{2}=-2

This confirms the preliminary results.

Numbers: 6 and -2

The proof that UX ≅ SV is shown. Given: △STU an equilateral triangle ∠TXU ≅ ∠TVS Prove: UX ≅ SV What is the missing statement in
iren2701 [21]
Triangle STU is congruent to triangle UTX is the missing step. AAS (angle-angle-side) is a method of proving 2 triangles congruent, and using the already proved information, you can find the triangles that are congruent by AAS.

x + y = 9

x = 9 - y

2x - y = 0

2(9 - y) - y = 0

18 - 2y - y = 0

-3y = -18

y = 6

x = 9 - y

x = 9 - 6

x = 3

Plzzz helpp find the length of arc AD. use 3.14 for pi. round to the nearest tenth
solniwko [45]

Answer:

15.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle AD = 180°- 66.4°= 113.6° (considering 2x90°=180° on opposite side)

P= 2*3.14*7.9=49.6 cm

Arc AD= 49.6*113.6°/360°= 15.7 cm

North America burned 4.5 x 1016 btu of petroleum in 1998. At this rate, how many BTU's will be burned in 9 year?
nikklg [1K]
Hello. Sonny solving this equation, multiplying 4.5 by 1016 will give us 4,572 BTU's a year. However, we are looking for the amount looking for the amount that will burn in 9 years. When you multiply 4,572 by 9, you get 41,148. 41,148 BTU's will be burned in 9 years.
