85 students and 70 adults attended the game.

How many students and adults attended the game?

Step-by-step explanation:

Problema Solution

There were 155 people at the basketball game. Tickets for the game are $2.50 for students and $4 for adults. If the total money received for admission was $492.50, how many students and adults attended the game?

Answer provided by our tutors

let

s = the number of student tickets sold

a = the number of adult tickets sold

there were 155 people at the basketball game

s + a = 155

the total money received for admission was $492.50

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

by solving the system of equations

s + a = 155

2.50s + 4a = 492.50

we find

s = 85 students

a = 70 adults

Answer:

The complete table is:

[ 5a ]           +    [ a + 3 ]      +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

  +                         +                    +                    +

[ 2b ]          +     [ 4 + a ]      +     [ -a  ]     =    [  2b + 4 ]

  +                       +                     +                    +

[ 2a ]          +    [ a + 1 ]       +   [  -3a  ]    =   [     1      ]

  =                      =                     =                     =

[ 7a + 2b ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]    +     [   0   ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

Explanation:

You can determine the content of each box by subtraction, running the rows and the columns.

The expressions are:

[ 5a ]  +    [          ]   +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

  +                +                +                    +

[ 2b ]  +   [ 4 + a ]   +     [      ]     =    [              ]

  +              +                   +                    +

[      ]   +   [         ]   +      [  -3a  ]  =   [     1      ]

  =               =                   =                   =

[      ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]  +  [         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

<u>1. First row:</u>

[ 5a ]  +    [          ]   +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

[      ] = [10a+ 3]  - [ 4a ] - [ 5a ] = 10a - 4a - 5a + 3 = a + 3

<u>2. Second colum:</u>

[ a + 3 ] + [ 4 + a ] + [       ] =  [ 3a + 8 ]

[        ] = [ 3a + 8 ] - [ a + 3 ] - [ 4 + a ] = 3a - a  + a  + 8 - 4 - 3 = a + 1

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ]  +    [ a + 3 ]   +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

  +                +                +                    +

[ 2b ]  +   [ 4 + a ]   +     [      ]     =    [              ]

  +              +                   +                    +

[      ]   +   [ a + 1 ]   +     [  -3a  ]  =   [     1      ]

  =               =                   =                   =

[      ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]  +  [         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

<u></u>

<u>3. Complete the row 3:</u>

<u></u>

     [      ]   +   [ a + 1 ]   +      [  -3a  ]  =   [     1      ]

    [      ]   =    [     1      ]   -   [ a + 1 ]   -    [  -3a  ]  = - a + 3a + 1 - 1 = 2a

So far, you have completed this:

[ 5a ]  +    [ a + 3 ]   +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

  +                +                +                    +

[ 2b ]  +   [ 4 + a ]   +     [      ]     =    [              ]

  +              +                   +                    +

[   2a   ]   +   [ a + 1 ]   +     [  -3a  ]  =   [     1      ]

  =               =                   =                   =

[      ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]  +  [         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

<u></u>

<u>4. Complete the fourth column:</u>

[ 10a + 3 ] + [    ] + [   1   ] = [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[    ] = 10a + 2b + 8 - 10a - 3 - 1 = 2b + 4

So far, this is the results:

[ 5a ]  +    [ a + 3 ]   +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

  +                +                +                    +

[ 2b ]  +   [ 4 + a ]   +     [      ]     =    [  2b + 4 ]

  +              +                   +                    +

[   2a   ]   +   [ a + 1 ]   +     [  -3a  ]  =   [     1      ]

  =               =                   =                   =

[      ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]  +  [         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

<u>5. Complete the second row:</u>

[ 2b ]  +   [ 4 + a ]   +     [      ]     =    [  2b + 4 ]

 [      ]   =   [  2b + 4 ] - [ 2b ]  -   [ 4 + a ]  = 2b - 2b + 4 - 4 - a = - a

So far:

[ 5a ]  +    [ a + 3 ]      +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

  +                +                    +                    +

[ 2b ]  +   [ 4 + a ]      +     [ -a  ]     =    [  2b + 4 ]

  +               +                     +                    +

[   2a   ]   +   [ a + 1 ]   +   [  -3a  ]  =   [     1      ]

  =               =                    =                   =

[      ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]  +     [         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

<u>6. Complete the first colum:</u>

[ 5a ] + [ 2b ] + [2a ] = [   ]

[   ] = [ 7a + 2b ]

So far:

[ 5a ]           +    [ a + 3 ]      +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

  +                         +                    +                    +

[ 2b ]           +   [ 4 + a ]      +     [ -a  ]     =    [  2b + 4 ]

  +                       +                     +                    +

[ 2a ]          +   [ a + 1 ]       +   [  -3a  ]    =   [     1      ]

  =                      =                     =                    =

[ 7a + 2b ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]   +     [         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

<u>7. Complete the last row:</u>

[ 7a + 2b ]  +   [ 3a + 8 ]   +     [         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ]

[         ]    =   [10a + 2b + 8 ] - [ 7a + 2b ] - [ 3a + 8 ] = 0

The complete table is:

[ 5a ]           +    [ a + 3 ]      +    [ 4a ]     =    [ 10a + 3 ]

A local company manufactures netbook computers. Their profit function is given by this equation: y equal minus x to the power of
r-ruslan [8.4K]
The equation described above can also be written as,
                    y = -x² + 100x + 4000
To get the number of notebooks that will give them the maximum profit, we derive the equation and equate to zero.
                  dy/dx = -2x + 100 = 0
The value of x from the equation is 50. Then, we substitute 50 to the original equation to get the profit. 
                   y = -(50^2) + 100(50) + 4000 = 6500
Thus, the maximum profit that the company makes is $6,500/day.

Brennan took a total of 16 pages of notes during 8 hours of class. After attending 10 hours of class, how many total pages of no
Nezavi [6.7K]
We use unitary method over here. To find out the number pages he writes in 1 hour we should;
16÷8 = 2.
So Brennan writes 2 pages in 1 hour.
Hence, in 10 hours he writes;
2 × 10 = 20.
∴ in ten hours Brennan writes 20 pages.
