Answer:

164 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can denote number of adult tickets as "y"

Then if number of adult tickets is "y" then number of student tickets can be expressed as (480-y)

We were given Total cost of tickets as ($2892) ............eqn(1) and the cost of adult ticket is $8 per one, and also Cost student ticket $5 per one

the algebra equation can be expressed as :

8y + 5y= 2892

If we substitute eqn (1) we have

8y + 5(480 - y) = 2892

8a + 2400 - 5y = 2892

2892 - 2400= 8y-5y

492=3y

y = 164

Therefore, the number of adult tickets sold is 164

Justin walk 5 kilometer and he turn right and he swim 35 meters why the apple is red?​
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Red apples get their color from anthocyanins. These are pigments, or natural colorings, that develop as the apple grows. It absorbs all the colors of the rainbow—except for red. The red light reflects off the apple and our brain and eyes work together to let us know what color we are seeing

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part of the question does not correlate to the final question the problem is asking. Therefore, we just need to find out why apples are red. A simple google search can tell you why ^^

The diameter of a table is 5 feet. What is the circumference
gulaghasi [49]

if the diameter is 5, then its radius is half that, or 2.5.


\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=2.5 \end{cases}\implies C=2\pi (2.5)\implies C=5\pi \implies C\approx 15.71

Can someone please help me? And it says “Solve each equation. Then, prove that your answer solves the original equation?
Viefleur [7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve each equation.

a. 6c = 30

c = 30/6 = 5

b.

2d-6=12

Adding 6 both sides

2d-6+6=12+6

2d = 18

d = 9

c.

\dfrac{x}{3}+9=2\\\\\dfrac{x}{3}=-7\\\\x=-21

d.

50=14+3m

50-14=3m

36=3m

m = 12

Hence, this is the required solution.
