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.

Dmitrij [34]
Let's do subtraction by first starting with the ones place and then the tenths place of the subtrahend.
45-4=41; 44, 43, 42, 41
41-.5= 40.5; 40.9, 40.8, 40.7, 40.6, 40.5
45-4.5=40.5
We can check by using addition.
40.5+4.5=
44+1=

Find the measure of ∠EGC. Circle A with chords EF and CD that intersect at point G, the measure of arc EC is 50 degrees, the mea
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

m∠EGC=70°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The measure of the inner angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite

so

m∠EGC=(1/2)[arc EC+arc DF]

<u><em>Find the value of x</em></u>

we have

m∠EGC=(7x+7)°

arc EC=50°

arc DF=10x°

substitute and solve for x

(7x+7)°=(1/2)[50°+10x°]

14x+14=50+10x

14x-10x=50-14

4x=36

x=9

<u><em>Find the measure of angle EGC</em></u>

m∠EGC=(7x+7)°

substitute the value of x

m∠EGC=(7(9)+7)°=70°
