Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is: C
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4x - 5) < 14x + 8
First multiply 2 by 4x and -5
8x - 10 < 14x + 8
Now find out what x is
Move 14x to the left
8x - 14x - 10 = 8
Then move 10 to the right and change it's sign to plus
8x - 14x = 8 + 10
Now combine like terms
-6x = 18
Now divide 18 by 6 to get x
x = 18/-6
x = -3
Answer:
46.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of students in Mrs. Verner's class = 15
Number of girls = 8
To find: percentage are boys
Solution:
Percentage of boys = ( Number of boys / Total number of students ) × 100
Number of boys = Total number of students - Number of girls = 15 - 8 = 7
So,
Percentage of boys = × 100 = 46.7%
