Assign x to adult tickets and y to student tickets, then set up the system
5x+y=2465 and
x+y=1077
You can subtract the second equation from the first to get
4x=1388
=> x=347
Then to find y do 1077-347 to find
y=730
Final answer:
347 adult tickets and 730 student tickets were sold.

Answer:
The total distance covered is 15.6 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
One day you warm up for 15 minutes at a pace of 0.1 miles per 25 seconds.
The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, like in this case, the direct rule of three can be applied as follow:
a ⇒ b
c ⇒ x
Then 
First, the simple rule of three can be applied in the following way: if 1 minute equals 60 seconds, 15 minutes equals how many seconds?

seconds= 900
So now you can apply the following rule of three: if in 25 seconds you travel 0.1 miles, in 900 seconds how many miles do you travel?

distance= 3.6 miles
If you then ride hard for 12 miles, the total distance traveled will be the sum of both:
3.6 miles + 12 miles = 15.6 miles
<u><em>The total distance covered is 15.6 miles.</em></u>
Answer:
x = 9
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
0.8x = 7.2
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Divide both sides by 0.8: x = 9
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute: 0.8(9) = 7.2
- Multiply: 7.2 = 7.2
7.2 does indeed equal 7.2. ∴ x = 9 is a solution.
And we have our final answer!
