Hi!

Given:

total tickets = 2,400
total profit = 9,000
student tickets cost $3
adult tickets cost $5
x = student tickets
y = adult tickets

The first equation we can make can use the total number of tickets. The total number of tickets would be equal to the number of student tickets plus the number of adult tickets, correct? Therefore:

$x+y=2400$

Now, the second one can use the profit and the price of each ticket. The number of student tickets multiplied by 3 (for the price) plus the number of adult tickets multiplied by 5 would be equal to the total profit. Hence:

$3x+5y=9000$

Therefore, your system of equations is:

$x+y=2400$

$3x+5y=9000$

Which graph represents the compound inequality x is less than or equal to 5/4 or x is greater than or equal to 5/2

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option 2 (Graph B)

Step-by-step explanation:

x ≤ ⁵/4 or x ≥ ⁵/2 represents a compound inequality containing the union of two statements. Either of the statements makes the compound inequality true.

On a graph, the small "o" indicating the start of the value of x would be full, this means ⁵/4 and ⁵/2 are included in the solutions.

Therefore, the correct graph in option 2 (Graph B), where the arrow goes from between 1 and 1.5 to your left, and the other arrow goes from 2.5 to your right.

6-8x=7x-10x-24 solve for x

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

6−8x=7x−10x−24

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6−8x=7x−10x−24

6+−8x=7x+−10x+−24

−8x+6=(7x+−10x)+(−24)(Combine Like Terms)

−8x+6=−3x+−24

−8x+6=−3x−24

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−8x+6+3x=−3x−24+3x

−5x+6=−24

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

−5x+6−6=−24−6

−5x=−30

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x/-5 = -30 /-5

x=6
