The simplified version of the expression is this: 5(x² + 9) ÷ x.
Answer:the number of children tickets that were sold is 30.
the number of adult tickets that were sold is 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of children tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
The movie theater sells a total of 100 tickets. This means that
x + y = 100
The theater charges $6 per child's ticket and $10 per adult's ticket. The movie theater made a total of $880. It means that
6x + 10y = 880 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 100 - y into equation 2, it becomes
6(100 - y) + 10y = 880
600 - 6y + 10y = 880
- 6y + 10y = 880 - 600
4y = 280
y = 280/4 = 70
x = 100 - y = 100 - 70
x = 30
Let the difference between consecutive terms be D. If the middle term is 30, then the term before it is 30-D, and the term after it is 30+D. So the sum of these three terms would be (30-D) + 30 + (30+D) = 3*30.
Extending this sum to include all 11 terms centered around 30, we see that any addition of D is canceled by a balanced subtraction, leaving you with 11 copies of 30. So the value of the sum is 11*30 = 330.
