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

For all values of x less than 7.5 the above inequality satisfies , i.e x

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Inequalities are the relationships between two expressions which are not equal to one another. The symbols used for inequalities are <, >, ≤, ≥ and ≠.

7 \textgreater x reads as '7 is greater than x' (or ' x is less than 7', reading from right to left).

x \leq -4 reads as ' x is less than or equal to -4' (or '-4 is greater than or equal to x', reading from right to left).

x \neq 5  reads as ‘ x is not equal to 5.

Here , we have

\begin{aligned}&2 x       { Dividing both sides by 2. }

∴ For all values of x less than 7.5 the above inequality satisfies.

Nate measured an apartment and made a scale drawing. The living room is 2 millimeters long in the drawing. The actual living roo
Vlada [557]
Alright! So, we know that in his drawing the living room is 2 millimeters long, and in reality it is 10 meters long. So, to find out how much 1 millimeter is we divide 10 by 2.

[10 ÷ 2] = 5. 

One millimeter is 5 meters in reality.

The ratio is 1:5

Sue has $100 saved to buy concert tickets that go on sale in 8 weeks. She plans to save $15 every 2 weeks. Will Sue have enough
Katen [24]

Answer:

she wont have enough money.

Step-by-step explanation:

she is saving money every 2 weeks. 8 divided by 2 is 4, so we'd have 15 x 4 which is 60. then we'd add it to 100, which would be 160, then divide it by 4, which would roughly come down to 40 dollars each, meaning we would not have enough money for 4 tickets

Please help! geometry problem 3!

|First of all, the triangles are equal by ASA the way the diagram has been marked.

B and E are both right angles.
Side BC = Side DE
<BCA =< EDA 

So triangle BCA = triangle EDA

Now to the letters.
x = y - 1                 Add 1 to both sides.
x + 1 = y                (1)
3x - 2 = 2y + 1       Subtract 1 from both sides.
3x -2 - 1 = 2y
3x - 3 = 2y             Divide by 2
3x/2 - 3/2 = 2y/2
1.5x - 1.5 = y    (2)

Step One
Since (1) and (2) both have y isolated on their respective right sides, they can be equated.

1.5x - 1.5 = x + 1       Take an x from both sides.
0.5x - 1.5 = x - x + 1
0.5x - 1.5 = 1           Add  1.5 to both sides.
0.5x =  1 + 1.5
0.5x = 2.5                 Divide 0.5 on both sides.
0.5x/0.5 = 2.5/0.5

x = 5

Now we need a y value.
x = y - 1 
5 = y - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
5 + 1 = y - 1 + 1
6 = y 

So the 2 sides and the 2 angles are equal when 
x = 5
y = 6
