We have 2 types of tickets, A tickets and B tickets. The total number of tickets sold was 500, so an equation for this NUMBER of tickets is A + B = 500. The MONEY equation is something different. A tickets cost 10, so they are represented by 10A; B tickets cost 60, so they are represented by 60B. The total dollar sales for A and B are 6000. Our money equation for the sales is 10A + 60B = 6000. Solve the first equation for A: A = 500 - B. Sub that value for A into the second equation to solve for B: 10(500-B) + 60B = 6000. Distribute through the parenthesis to get 5000 - 10B + 60B = 6000. Combine like terms to get 50B = 1000. B = 20. There were 20 type B tickets sold. A = 500 - B, so A = 500 - 20 and A = 480. There were 480 type A tickets sold.
Answer:
D would be the right answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7, 11, 14 feet from shortest to longest
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the shortest pipe is equal to x, and work from there.
The medium size piece is 4 feet longer than the shortest piece, so it is equal to 4+x
The longest piece is twice as long as the shortest piece, so it is equal to 2 * x.
The three pieces added up make up the 32 feet pipe, so we can write this as
(2*x) + (4+x) + x = 32
2*x + 4 + x + x = 32
4 * x + 4 = 32
subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient
4 * x = 28
divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x
x= 7
Therefore, the shortest piece is x=7 feet long. The medium piece is x+4=11 feet long, and the longest piece is x*2=14 feet long
