Let S = student
Let A = adult
First equation is total tickets
Second should be the cost
S + A = 125
6S + 10A = 850
Use substitution or elimination
S + A = 125
S = -A + 125
I used substitution
6(-A + 125) + 10A = 850
-6A + 750 + 10A = 850
4A + 750 = 850
4A = 100, A = 25 adult tickets
125 - 25 = 100

Solution: 100 student tickets

Answer:

25 adult tickets were sold and 100 student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets sold be x and the number of student tickets sold be y.

We know that the total amount collected from the tickets was $850, and that a total of 125 tickets were sold. We can use this information to come up with two equations.

10x + 6y = 850 - Equation 1

x + y = 125 - Equation 2

Then, use the substitution method to solve for either x or y first, followed by the other.

From equation two:

x + y = 125

x = 125 - y - Equation 3

Sub eqn 3 into eqn 1:

10(125-y) + 6y = 850

1250 - 10y + 6y = 850

1250 - 4y = 850

-4y = - 400

y - 100

Sub y = 100 into eqn 2:

x + 100 = 125

x = 25

Check:

10(25) + 6(100) = 850

You need to make 5 grilled cheese sandwiches. You have a grill that is large enough to toast 2 sandwiches at a time. The sandwic
n200080 [17]
Each sandwich is toasted for 2 minutes and it takes 3 seconds to flip it.
The first two sandwiches will be toasted in 2 minutes (toasting) and 6 seconds (flipping).
The two will then be switched which will take 10 seconds.
The next two will again take 2 minutes and 6 seconds.
The final sandwich will take 5 seconds to be placed.
The final sandwich will also take 2 minutes to toast and 3 seconds to flip.
Total time:
2 + 2 +2 = 6 minutes
6 + 10 + 6 + 3 = 25 seconds
Total time is 6 minutes and 25 seconds.

Expand 3(x+ 2.3) <br> Expand 1/3(9x-12)
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

3x+6.9 and 3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

since 3 x x is 3x and the sign in the bracket is addition you place it there then place 3 x 2.3

being 6.9.

1/3 x 9is 9/3 and 3 can multiply both sides to get 3/1 or 3 then bring the minus and 1/3 x 12 is 12/3 3 can multiply both sides to get 4/1 or 4

Need help with number 7
tatyana61 [14]

Since she runs 6\frac{1}{2} miles each day and there 7 days per week, you will have to multiply 6\frac{1}{2} times 7.

But since you have to use distributive properties, multiply like this (6\frac{1}{2})(7)

6\frac{1}{2} is equal to \frac{13}{2}

Now turn 7 into a fraction, so its \frac{7}{1}

Now multipy (6\frac{1}{2})(\frac{7}{1})

Multiply the numerators, so its 7 * 13 which gives you 91 and multiply the denominators so its 1 * 2 which gives you 2.

Put that back into a fraction as \frac{91}{2}

Divde it to change it to a mixed number and the answer is 45\frac{1}{2}

What is the distance between (-5, 3) and (7, 3)?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We would need to ignore the 3 first of all. We know that 3 is located at the same place. We then need to see 7 and -5. The distance from zero of each numbers matter, not the ammount. So (-5) is 5 from zero. (7) is 7 from zero. 5 + 7 = 12 units
