In this problem, you have three unknowns: broadway tickets for the (1) main floor, (2) balcony and (3) mezzanine. To solve algebraic equations, the total number of unknowns must be the same with the number of independent equations. With that, let's formulate these three equations.

Let the 3 unknowns be

x = number of tickets for the main floor
y = number of tickets for the balcony
z = number of tickets for the mezzanine

The independent equations are:

59x+50y+40z=73,785 --> eq 1
x = y+z+435 --> eq 2
y = 78 + 33 z ---> eq 3

Solve the equations simultaneously. Substitute eq3 to eq 2

x = 78+33z+z+435
x = 513+34z --> eq 4

Substitute eq 4 and eq 3 to eq 1

59(513+34z)+50( 78 + 33 z)+40z=73,785 

Solve for z using the calculator: z = 11
Use eq 4 to find x: x = 877
Use eq 2 to find y: y = 432

There were 877 main floor tickets, 432 balcony tickets and 11 mezzanine tickets sold.

-q^2 - r^2 + 3s

-9^2 - -6^2 + 3(-20)

-9^2 = -9 * -9 = 81

81 - -6^2 + 3(-20)

-6^2 = -6 * -6 = 36

81 - 36 + 3(-20)

3(-20) = -60

81 - 36 + -60

81 + 36 = 117

117 + (-60)

117 - 60= 57

57

3| x + y |^2 - (xy)^2

3| 3 + -5 |^2 - (3-5)^2

(3-5) = 2

3| 3 + -5 |^2 - 2^2

|3 + -5| = 8

3|8|^2 - 2^2

8 * 8 = 64

3(64) - 2^2

2^2 = 2*2 = 4

3(64) - 4

3*64 = 192

192 - 4 = 188

188

(-3-2) = -5

2(-3)^2 - 5(-5) - -2^3

-3^2 = -3 * -3 = -9

2(-9) - 5(-5) - -2^3

2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8

2(-9) - 5(-5) - 8

18 - 5(-5) - 8

5(-5) = -25

18 - (-25) - 8

18 + 25 - 8

18 + 25 = 43

43 - 8 = 35

35

—4^2 + 7(-2)^4 - 2(-3)^3

4^2 + 7(-2)^4 - 2(-3)^3

4 * 4 = 16

16 + 7(-2)^4 - 2(-3)^3

-2 * -2 * -2 * -2 = 16

16 + 7(16) - 2(-3)^3

-3 * -3 * -3 = -27

16 + 7(16) - 2(-27)

7 * 16 = 112

16 + 112 - 2(-27)

2 * -27 = -54

16 + 112 - -54

16 + 112 + 54

112 + 16 = 128

128 + 54 = 182

Find the slope intercept form of the line passing through (3,9) and (0,3).
ANEK [815]

Answer:

y = 2x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we do (Y1 - Y2)/(X1-X2) aka rise over run

So, m = (9 - 3) / (3 - 0)

m = 2

Now we have y = 2x +b

Notice one of our points is (0,3)

Since the x value of that point is 0, it is the y intercept.

In the slope intercept form b = y-intercept

Therefore b = 3

So, y = 2x + 3

Find the length of the missing side.<br> 50 m<br> 30 m<br> The length of the missing side is<br> m.
satela [25.4K]

Answer: The missing length is 40 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

30^2 + b^2 = 50^2

900 + b^2 = 2500

-900              -900

       b^2 = 1600

b=  40

50 points!!!!! Please!!!!! Sandra and Jenny spend a certain amount of money from their money box each month to buy plants. The t
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

A) Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $6 each month and Sandra spends $5 each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept for Sandra is 55 and the slope is -5. While Jenny's y-intercept is 50 and slope is -6.

6 is a greater number therefore causing Jenny's slope to decrease faster causing her to have less money at a much faster rate. (rate of change=slope) Jeny's slope is decreasing at a faster rate of change because she is spending more money everyday than Sandra is.

Hope this helps! Have a great day! :)
