Answer:

<em>Total number of adult tickets sold = 10</em>

<em>Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of student tickets sold.

Let y be the number of adult tickets sold.

As per the question statement, total tickets sold are 40.

x +y =40 ...... (1)

Price of each student ticket = $5

Sales from students' tickets = Price of each students ticket \times Number of students tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 5 \times x

Price of each adult ticket = $9

Sales from adult's tickets = Price of each adult's ticket \times Number of adult tickets sold

Sales from student's tickets = 9 \times y

Total sales is done by students and adult tickets is $240 as per the question statement.

\Rightarrow 5x + 9y = 240 ......(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2) using elimination method:

Equation (2) - 5 \times (1) :

5x  + 9y -5x-5y = 240-200\\\Rightarrow 4y = 40\\\Rightarrow y =10

Total number of adult tickets sold = 10

Putting y=10 in equation (1):

x+10 = 40\\\Rightarrow x = 30

Total number of students tickets sold = 30

<em>Total number of adult tickets sold = 10</em>

<em>Total Number of Students tickets sold = 30</em>

iragen [17]

Answer: 8000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the expression 10³ × 2^w models the population of the bacteria after w weeks.

The number of bacteria that will be present in 3 weeks will then be:

= 10³ × 2^w

= 10³ × 2³

= 1000 × 8

= 8000 bacterias

blondinia [14]

1) in first place you need to Know what kind of figure is it, in order to find solve the problem, as you can see it is a parallelogram, and the condition for this geometric figure the opposites  are equal ,

2) if you have a non -rectangular parallelogram and draw a diagonal  from A to C, you obtain two equal triangles, for this reason the line AC IS CALLED DIAGONAL,  and divide the parallelogram

3) in first place to determine that the angles are congruents for two triangles the Diagonal is comun for both, and the vertex  ∡CAB IS THE SAME ∡ACD

4) If the diagonal AB AND CD are equal , AD AND BC are equal too, then the triangles are congruent

5)  segment AB Parallel to CD THEY HAVE THE SAME SLOPE AND MAGNITUDE
