Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for

opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50 a plus 3.75 b equals 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold?

Answer:

The number of adult tickets sold is 168.

Step-by-step explanation:

* Here's the solution approach:

- Adult ticket price: $10.50

- Student ticket price: $3.75

- Total revenue from opening night tickets: $2071.50

- Equation representing total revenue:

 10.50 a + 3.75 b = 2071.50, where a = number of adult tickets and b = number of student tickets.

- Number of students who attended: 82

* Solving the problem:

Since the number of students is 82, b = 82

Substitute into the equation:

10.50 a + 3.75 × 82 = 2071.50

Calculate 3.75 × 82 = 307.5

The equation becomes:

10.50 a + 307.5 = 2071.50

Subtract 307.5 from both sides:

10.50 a = 1764

Divide both sides by 10.50:

a = 1764 / 10.50 = 168

Therefore, 168 adult tickets were sold.

tester [12383]
Hi! The goal of the Chi-Square Goodness of Fit test is to determine if observed frequencies of a categorical variable align with the expected historical or theoretical values in the population. Having the sales proportions of the top-five compact cars, we compare them against 400 compact car sales data from Chicago to see if there are discrepancies. Specifically, we have: - Chevy Cruze 24% ⟹ P(CC) = 0.24 - Ford Focus 21% ⟹ P(FF) = 0.21 - Hyundai Elantra 20% ⟹ P(HE) = 0.20 - Honda Civic 18% ⟹ P(HC) = 0.18 - Toyota Corolla 17% ⟹ P(TC) = 0.17 The hypotheses established are: H₀: P(CC) = 0.24; P(FF) = 0.21; P(HE) = 0.20; P(HC) = 0.18; P(TC) = 0.17 H₁: There is a discrepancy between expected and observed outcomes. With α set at 0.05, the statistic calculated is based on Oi (observed frequency) and Ei (expected frequency). The initial step involves calculating expected frequencies using: Ei = n * Pi, where Pi is the theoretical proportion for each category stated in the null hypothesis. The test conducted is right-tailed, and so is the p-value, calculated as: P(X²₄ ≥ 11.23) = 1 - P(X²₄ < 11.23) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02. Since the p-value is lower than α, we reject the null hypothesis, indicating that Chicago's market shares for the five compact cars differ from those reported by Motor Trend.

What are the solutions of the equation (2x + 3)2 + 8(2x + 3) + 11 = 0? Use u substitution and the quadratic formula to solve.
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

x=-2.38

x=-4.62


Step-by-step explanation:

The question is (2x+3)^2+8(2x+3)+11=0

We let u=2x+3, so the equation becomes:

u^2+8u+11=0

Where a=1, b=8, c=11


By applying the quadratic formula, we arrive at:

Quadratic formula: \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

Substituting yields: \frac{-8+-\sqrt{(8)^2-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}\\=\frac{-8+-\sqrt{20} }{2}\\=\frac{-8+-2\sqrt{5} }{2}\\=-4+\sqrt{5}, -4-\sqrt{5} }

We let u=2x+3, thus x calculates to:

u=2x+3\\(-4+\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7+\sqrt{5}}{2}=-2.38

and

u=2x+3\\(-4-\sqrt{5})=2x+3\\x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2}=-4.62


The solutions to the equation are x=-2.38 (rounded to 2 decimal places) and x=-4.62 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

What is the solution to this system of linear equations? y − 4x = 7 2y + 4x = 2 (3, 1) (1, 3) (3, −1) (−1, 3)
AnnZ [12381]
Starting with the equation Y - 4x = 7, we can express y as y = 4x + 7. Now, substitute this expression into the second equation 2y + 4x = 2: 2(4x + 7) + 4x = 2, which simplifies to 8x + 14 + 4x = 2. After that, we gather like terms: 12x = 2 - 14, yielding 12x = -12, hence x = -1. Plugging x into the equation y - 4(-1) = 7 also reveals: y + 4 = 7, which gives y = 3. Thus, the solution arrives at (-1, 3).
