I have done the segment 1 pratice exam
Answer:
Adult tickets =125
Child tickets = 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively
So that
x+y= 253--------1
Since total sales/receipt is $2,771
And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence
15x+7y= 2771-------2
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have
x+y= 253---------------1
15x+7y= 2771----------2
Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3
15x+15y=3795---------3
-{15x+7y= 2771----------2
0+8y=1024
8y= 1024
y= 1024/8
y= 128 tickets
So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1
x+ 128=253
x=253-128
x= 125 tickets
Hopefully I drew what you described.
The 6.6 represents the total of N + 3.4
We subtract the part we know from the whole /sum/total we know to get the other part.
So 6.6 - 3.4 = N
3.2 = N
I subtract 2x to 8x that is equal to 6x; then I subtract 10 from right to left. So 94-10 equal 84. Now you got 6x=84, divide 6 both side and you got the answer.
The answer is x= 14
