Answer:
2x² - 9x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: FOIL
2x² - 10x + x - 5
Step 2: Combine like terms
2x² - 9x - 5
3/x=36
Multiply both sides by x
3=36x
Then divide both sides by 36
3/36=x
1/12=x
Final answer: 1/12

Answer:
3 3/4 cups of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.
Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.
Using the substitution method:
x + y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 - x ⇒ Equation (3)
12x + 8y = 3280 ⇒ 12x + 8(300-x) = 3280 ⇒ x = 220
y = 300 - x ⇒ y = 300-220 ⇒ 80
Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
