Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.25 = 125 cents.

$42 = 4200 cents

Tickets sold at 75 cents = x

Tickets sold at 125 cents = y

x + y = 40

75x + 125y = 4200

Multiply the first equation by 75

75x + 75y = 3000

75x + 125y = 4200

Subtract the the second equation from the first.

75x + 75y = 3000

- 75x + 125y = 4200

-------------------------------

0 - 150y = - 1200

Divide both sides by - 150

-150y/-150 = -1200/-150

y = 8

Substitute y = 8 into the first equation

x + y = 42

x + 8 = 42

x = 42 - 8

x = 34

34 tickets were sold for 75 cents

8 tickets were sold for $1.25

4 + 3r - 5r = -4r + 4
ioda

Answer:

r= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation:

= 3r - 5r = -4r

collect like terms

= -2r = -4r

move variable to left and change its sign

= -2r + 4r = 0

collect like terms

= 2r = 0

divide both sides of the equation by 2

r=0

Use the Law of Sines:
 
  sin B              sin 81         sin 44
 ----------       = ----------- = --------------
  side AC            68            side AB

Then (side AB)(sin 81) = 68(sin 44), or
