Answer:

2(8a + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is to substitute a for a number. For example, let's just make things easy and make a = 1.

So, if a = 1, the expression 16a + 8 would be 16(1) + 8 = 24.

Let's find all the expressions that would also equal 24 if a = 24.

Plug in 1 for a in each of the equations. You will find that 2(8a + 8) will not equal 24 if a equals 1.

2(8a + 8)

2(8(1) + 8

2(8 + 8)

2(16)

Item 18 you and your friend are selling tickets to a charity event. you sell 7 adult tickets and 16 student tickets for $120. yo

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The two purchases can be written in terms of the cost of an adult ticket (a) and the cost of a student ticket (s):

7a +16s = 120 . . . . . . . . price for the first purchase

13a +9s = 140 . . . . . . . . price for the second purchase

Using Cramer's rule, the value of s can be found as ...

s = (120·13 -140·7)/(16·13 -9·7) = 580/145 = 4

The cost of a student ticket is $4.

Comment on Cramer's Rule

Cramer's rule is particularly useful for systems that don't have "nice" numbers that would make substitution or elimination easy methods to use. If you locate the numbers in the equation, you can see the X-patterns that are used to compute the numerator and denominator differences.

The value of a is (16·140 -9·120)/(same denominator) = 1160/145 = 8. I wanted to show you these numbers so you could see the numerator X-pattern for the first variable.

Of course, graphical methods can be quick and easy, too.
