b = number of tickets sold before

a = number of tickets sold after

cost of a ticket = number of tickets times cost per ticket

before cost = 39.95b

after cost = 54.95a

total cost = 925000

39.95b + 54.95a = 925000

total number tickets = 20000

b + a = 20000

we have

39.95b + 54.95a = 925000

b + a = 20000

multiply second equation by -39.95 and add to first equation

39.95b + 54.95a = 925000

-39.95b-39.95a = -799000 +

0b+15a = 126000

15a = 126000

divide bot sides by 15

a = 8400

sub back

b + a = 20000

b+8400 = 20000

minus 8400 both sides

b = 11600

11,600 tickets sold before

8400 tickets sold after

Answer:

x= - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

- 8(x +7) = 16
-8x - 56 = 16
-8x = 16 + 56
-8x = 72
x = 72 ÷ (-8)
x = -9

Which values represent the first two terms of the sequence a1=2 and an=-4(an-1)^2?

cricket20 [7]

<span>a1= (which is the first term.)
to find the 2nd term you plug in 2 for (an) in the formula given to you. =-4(2-1)^2 *remember an represents the term u are looking for *
now you start to solve it
-4(2-1)^2
-4 (1)^2 .
-4^2 = 16
so your first two terms are 2 and 16 .</span>

Cuanto es la respuesta de -126=14k?

N76 [4]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \text{k = - 9}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \text{ - 126 = 14k}}$

$\text{step \: 1 \: : Intercambia los lados de la ecuación}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{14k = - 126}}$

$\text{step \: 2 : Divide ambos lados por 14}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{14k}{14} = \frac{ - 126}{14}}}$

$\text{step \: 3 \: : Calcular}$

$\hookrightarrow{ \sf{k = - 9}}$

$\text{el valor de k es - 9}$

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

Translation in English:

Step 1 : Swap the sides of the equation

Step 2 : Divide both sides by 14

Step 3 : Calculate

A bag contains 8 black marbles and 20 yellow marbles. You reach into the bag and pull out a black marble. Then you reach into th

sveticcg [70]

You have a bag containing 8 + 20 = 28 marbles.

After you pull a black marble you have 28 - 1 = 27 remaining marbles.

There are 20 yellow marbles in the bag.

The probability of pulling a yellow marble is now

$\frac{20}{27} which \: is \: approximately \: equal \: to \\ 74.07\%$

Is it possible to find another line that’s parallel to 3x+9y=1 and passes through (0, 1/9)

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

no it is not

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+9y=1 simplified is

9y=-3x+1

y=-1/3x+1/9

this is the exact same equation as 3x+9y=1, so you cannot find another line thats parallel to it and passes through that same point (it'll always be that point)
