To find the answer, set up a system of equations.
Let x=adult tickets and y=senior citizen tickets.
x+y=556
22x+12y=8492
Change the first equation to make it easy to combine with the second equation.
y=556-x
Now substitute (556-x) for y in the second equation.
22x+12(556-x)=8492
Simplify and combine like terms.
22x+6672-12x=8492
10x=1820
x=182
182 adult tickets were sold, so to solve for the number of senior citizen tickets sold, subtract 182 from 556.
556-182=374
374 senior citizen tickets were sold.
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign.
slope = -2, or -2/1....so flip the slope...-1/2...and change the sign...1/2.
so the perpendicular slope would be 1/2.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at A and you subtract 3x by 4x you get x and you subtract 3 from -7 and you get -10. But if you look at B you do the stuff in the parentheses first and you get 4x+12x+28=16x+28 and they're the same so it's B.
